As California moves to a more greener state, there has been a phase-out of incandescent light bulbs.

Phase-out of Incandescent Light Bulbs in California:

​

2007:

 

The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) set minimum efficiency standards for general-service lamps (GSLs), including incandescent bulbs. California adopted these standards.

​

2012-2014:

 

EISA regulations phased out 60-watt and higher wattage incandescent bulbs nationwide.

​

2018:

 

California adopted stricter EISA regulations, requiring A-shape GSLs (typical screw-in bulbs) to meet a minimum of 45 lumens per watt (LPW), effectively banning most standard incandescent bulbs in this category.

​

2020:

 

The Trump administration rolled back EISA regulations, but California and several other states continued to enforce the stricter standards.

​

2023:

 

New federal regulations mandated higher efficiency standards for GSLs nationwide, further limiting the availability of incandescent bulbs.

​​

Why the Regulations?

​

Energy Efficiency:

 

Incandescent bulbs are significantly less energy-efficient than LED and CFL alternatives, consuming more energy to produce the same amount of light.

​

Environmental Impact:

 

Producing the energy used by incandescent bulbs contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts.

​

Cost Savings:

 

Energy-efficient alternatives offer long-term cost savings due to lower energy consumption and longer lifespans.

​​

Current Status:

​

• While some specialized or decorative incandescent bulbs may still be available, their options are significantly limited compared to the past.

• The focus has shifted towards promoting and encouraging the use of energy-efficient alternatives like LEDs and CFLs.

​

LED bulbs consume significantly less energy compared to traditional incandescent options, translating to lower electricity bills and a reduced environmental impact. Plus, they boast a dramatically longer lifespan, saving you money and maintenance time in the long run.

LED White and LED Color Pool Lights

​

LED light technology has expanded the possibilities in lighting and continues to make incandescent a way of the past. It provides long lasting, low energy requirements, low heat emissions, color changing led light displays among other benefits. As the technology continues to improve Color LED add more new and exciting features.

 

These features include LED colorful lights which have no light bulb, no moving parts such as the color lights with color wheels of the past. LED lights are the brightest option for the swimming pools of today and some have wide angle settings which can illuminate rather than directly in front. LED come in white and color changing led lights and can operate with different settings that sync with pool automation or pool switches. You can directly manage the led colorful lights right from your phone app that can sync with both pool and spa lighting.
