California Energy Commission released a small diameter directional lights and LED lights standard assessment reports. Directional lights usually commercial lamps, and LED lights are used for alternative sources of residential incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps. Energy Committee in 2007 could number as a benchmark for home reached before 2018 to reduce energy consumption by 50%, 25% of commercial energy consumption target for California sold lamps made capable of saving and improving the quality of light bulb lighting specifications.
The new specification is expected to have financial impact. According to Energy Commission estimates that for every $ 4 invested (about NT $ 130 yuan) to buy more energy-efficient directional lamps, consumers will be able to save nearly 11 years to $ 250 (and NT $ 8,112 million) in electricity and maintenance costs. The LED lamps energy-saving features are obvious, and the price is continuing to fall.
Energy Commission chief Andrew McAllister, said: "With high efficiency, energy-saving light bulbs replace large power products is one of the ways to help California achieve the easiest target in spite of the small-diameter directional energy saving lamps and LED lamps can significantly saving, but there is. There is no federal regulations to regulate Specification can set out the proposed LED lighting quality and performance standards, and to avoid consumer re-encounter and fluorescent energy saving bulbs the same problem. "
2029, in accordance with directional lights and LED lights specification, can save about 3,000 GWh per year (109) of electricity, which far exceeds the required power and 范朵拉 Santa Barbara County, about 400,000 homes electricity.
