Residential Lighting (CFL & LED)
CFLs , LEDs, Fixtures, Advanced Power Strips, Showerheads & TSVs
ENERGY STAR CFLs and Linear Fluorescent Fixtures.
These measures are available for all types of residential buildings (single-family, manufactured and multifamily). Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) must be more than 5 watts, ENERGY STAR qualified; and installed in a residential building. General purpose and specialty CFLs are both eligible. Specialty CFLs are defined as the following screw-base bulbs: decorative and minibase; three-way; reflector; and outdoor CFLs. Note: T-2s, A-lamps and dimmable CFLs are general purpose, not specialty. Linear fluorescent fixtures must be ENERGY STAR Qualified High Performance T8. Qualified fixtures may be found on the Linear Fluorescent Fixture Qualified Products List in the Document Library. The Linear Fluorescent Fixture measures are currently available only for “Retail” distribution.

ENERGY STAR Solid-State Lighting/Light Emitting Diodes Bulbs and Fixtures.
The base case (pre-existing state) used to calculate energy efficiency savings for the current BPA Residential LED bulb measures is an estimate of the current state of residential lighting using a) the RBSA (which identifies the socket saturation of efficient lighting by both low use locations and moderate/high use locations) or b) through actual observance (Direct Install only). The base case for LEDs factors in current socket saturation and Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) compliance and uses a weighted average of incandescent, halogen and CFL bulbs, except in the case of Direct Install.

Conservation Tips
An ENERGY STAR Qualified Compact Fluorescent Light bulb (CFL):
- can save more than $40 in electricity costs over its lifetime
- uses about 75% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and lasts up to 10 times longer
- produces about 75% less heat, so it's safer to operate and can cut energy costs associated with home cooling
