Philips Lighting is launching a range of incandescent light bulbs that it says comply with impending energy-efficiency regulations.<\/p>\n
The EcoVantage range has the same look, shape and feel as common household bulbs, available in soft white, true-color natural light and crystal clear options, and starts at $2.97 for a two-pack, Philips said. EcoVantage uses halogen technology to offer energy savings of at least 28 percent, the company added.<\/p>\n
The lights are available in 29-watt, 43-watt and 72-watt versions, replacing 40-watt, 60-watt and 100-watt traditional incandescents. The bulbs will be sold exclusively at Home Depot, starting on Earth Day.<\/p>\n
Philips says that if every American were to replace a traditional 100 watt bulb with an EcoVantage bulb, it would prevent emissions equivalent to 590,588 cars, saving $388 million in energy costs and eliminate the need for 3000 MW of power.<\/p>\n
The company said the bulbs meet or exceed efficiency standards established in the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007<\/a>, and are some of the most environmentally friendly incandescent bulbs on the market.<\/p>\n The acts\u2019 regulations have often been described as a ban on incandescents, but the legislation does not outlaw the bulbs outright. Instead, it enacts efficiency standards that most incandescents are unable to meet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Read the complete article at Environmental Leader<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Philips Lighting is launching a range of incandescent light bulbs that it says comply with impending energy-efficiency regulations.
