Helping create new lighting technologies and products

ENERGY STAR(R)
Residential Light Fixtures

Concept:

Based on data gathered at a series of EPA workshops, PIER is encouraging lighting manufacturers to develop high-end, portable indoor residential fixtures. These fixtures will utilize pin-based CFLs rather than screw-in bulbs and will qualify for the ENERGY STAR label.

Solution:

Four lighting manufacturers- PowerLux, American Fluorescent, Fire & Water and MaxLite-are currently working on new designs that match ENERGY STAR specifications and provide high-quality residential lighting. These fixtures will be available in June of 2004.
