Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Minneapolis wants you to know that your traditional outdoor lighting is set to lawfully expire. After January 1, 2020, you will not be able to purchase bulb replacements for your traditional outdoor lighting system. What does this mean for Minneapolis outdoor lighting?
In a move to eradicate inefficient light bulbs, The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 was instated in a bipartisan act of Congress. The EISA was created to unfold over time, from the time of its inception in 2007 – with the first phase enacted in 2012, and the final phase set to take effect, January 1, 2020.
Upgrade your Minneapolis outdoor lighting to LED before 2020!
Any traditional general service lamp (GSL) between 40 and 100 watts, which does not meet more stringent energy standards (25% greater efficiency), will be unlawful to manufacture, import, or purchase. This means bulbs that do not meet the new energy standard of 45 lumens per watt (LPW) will essentially go extinct.
Over 1,000 LED bulbs on the market, meet or exceed the new EISA standards. It’s time to upgrade your Minneapolis outdoor lighting to LED.
There are some specialty household light bulbs, which are proposed to be excluded or are already excluded from the EISA of 2007. Decorative candelabra bulbs, for instance, and Edison light bulbs. Others, such as floodlights, 3-way lamp lights, and some recessed light bulbs are also included in the exclusions.
For now, decorative Edison bulbs will not be included in the new efficiency standards.
What does this mean for our wallets? Aren’t LED bulbs expensive?
At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Minneapolis, this is a common concern, as most of us are aware of the additional upfront costs of LED bulbs over traditional GSLs. We get it – no one wants to spend unnecessary money on their outdoor lighting. Even though some LED bulbs can be as much as 60% more expensive than traditional bulbs, we must also consider the benefits of LED over traditional lighting. Considering that LED outdoor lighting bulbs will outlive some of their traditional counterparts with 35 times the longevity, and cost up to 85% less to burn, that upfront cost is merely unwarranted sticker shock. The cost savings over time far outweigh the price to purchase LED bulbs.
