Sylvania Replacement Guide For Fluorescent Lamps Eliminated in 2012 BY DOE General Service Fluorescent Rulemaking

In 2009, the United States Department of Energy issued efficacy standards for general service fluorescent lamps that implement new lumens per watt regulations for linear and U-bend types.  The new standards, which become effective on July 14, 2012, will result in elimination of many inefficient 4-foot T12 and 2-foot T12 U-bend lamps, most 8-foot T12 lamps and some 4-foot T8 lamps from the marketplace.  To help lighting users with their selection process, SYLVANIA has developed this replacement guide.  The guide lists lamps which do not meet the minimum efficacy requirements and will therefore be eliminated.  The guide also provides product replacements which satisfy the minimum requirements of the energy legislation and gives recommended, high efficiency alternatives which save energy, provide longer life and greater value.  Where item numbers are listed as TBD, OSRAM SYLVANIA does not currently manufacture these lamps, but plans to introduce them for sale before the effective legislation date.  For product availability and specific recommendations contact your United Electric sales professional.
