DOE is also conducting a rulemaking regarding energy conservation standards for general service lamps. For more information, please see the rulemaking page.
EPCA established the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products Other Than Automobiles, covering major household appliances, designed to improve energy efficiency. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 amended EPCA and directs the FTC to consider the effectiveness of lamp labeling for power levels, light output, and lamp lifetime. DOE is undertaking this test procedure rulemaking for LED lamps to support FTC's determination that LED lamps require labels under EISA section 321(b) and 42 U.S.C. 6294(a)(6) to assist consumers in making purchasing decisions.
