2008 PARTNER RESOURCE GUIDE

SECTION 1 : CONSUMER INFORMATION

This Partner Resource Guide is designed to help you promote ENERGY

STAR qualified light bulbs. You are invited to use any of the text,
charts, or

images for promoting ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs. Contact your

D&R account representative for high-resolution images.

Section 1 includes the latest consumer messaging on product features

and benefits, as well as fun facts and usage tips.

Section II summarizes the most recent data on ENERGY STAR market share,

ENERGY STAR criteria, energy savings, and cost--effectiveness.

Switching from incandescent bulbs to ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs

is the easiest step consumers can take to save on energy bills and help

the environment. An ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light

bulb (CFL) will save about \$30 over its lifetime and pay for itself in
about

5 months. ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs use 75 percent less energy and

last about 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs.

CFLs have come a long way in the last 20 years. Today's ENERGY STAR

qualified CFLs are small, efficient, produce better light, and are
available in

a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. There are even special CFLs that
work on dimmers or three-way switches.

ENERGY STAR is a government-backed

program that helps consumers identify

the most energy-efficient products.

DID YOU KNOW?

Incandescent light bulbs were invented by Thomas Edison in 1879, and the
basic design has not changed much since. These bulbs are very
inefficient, converting only 10 percent of the electricity consumed into
visible light. The remaining 90 percent of the electricity is actually
released as heat!

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs use innovative technology to produce light in
a very efficient way. Electricity creates a chemical reaction among
gases located inside the glass tube, causing special phosphors to
illuminate.

sophisticated electronic circuitry to generate light.

ENJOY ENERGY SAVINGS AND MORE!

couch like they are watching television.

The average U.S. household has more than 40 sockets for light bulbs,
ranging from table lamps to ceiling fixtures. Larger homes can have even
more. Lighting accounts for about 20 percent of annual household
electricity bills, or approximately \$200 per year (footnote 1).
Replacing incandescent bulbs with ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs
provides significant benefits for consumers.

SAVE TIME AND EFFORT. ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs can last more
than five years, compared to about 11 months for an incandescent bulb---
that's six times longer! (footnote 2).

SAVE ENERGY AND MONEY. Over its lifetime, one ENERGY STAR qualified
light bulb eliminates the need for at least six incandescent bulbs and
saves you more than \$30. By changing five bulbs to ENERGY STAR, you
save more than \$150! (footnote 3).

STAY COOL. Because ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs run cooler, they

make your home more comfortable. They are also safer to use in light

fixtures that have delicate paper or fabric shades.

SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT. When you choose an ENERGY STAR qualified

light bulb, you are helping to protect the environment by reducing air
pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Lifetime Cost comparison chart. This chart shows a graph with two
columns along the X axis, the left column has an illustration of six 60
watt incandescent light bulbs stacked up to the \$40 mark on the y axis
and the other column has an illustration of one 13 watt ENERGY STAR
qualified CFL that comes to the \$10 mark on the y axis. The chart shows
that six 60 watt incandescent bulbs would last as long as one 13 watt
ENERGY STAR qualified CFL and that the six 60 watt incandescent bulbs
would cost \$30 more to operate. The chart further explains that six 60
watt incandescent bulbs would cost about \$40, which includes a purchase
price of 50 cents per bulb and 1,000 hours of operation per bulb at an
electricity rate of 10.08 cents per kilowatt hour. The 13 watt ENERGY
STAR qualified CFL will cost about \$10, based on a purchase price of
\$3.00, a 6,000 hour operating lifetime and an electricity rate of 10.08
cents per kilowatt hour.

WHERE TO USE.

There are ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs for nearly every household
application. Here are some tips:

LET IT SHINE. ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs provide the greatest
savings in fixtures that are on for at least 15 minutes at a time. Put
them where you leave the lights on the most in the evening, such as the
family room, living room, kitchen, dining room, and porch.

CHANGE LESS. ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs make frequent bulb changes a
thing of the past. Those hard-to-reach fixtures are less trouble with
ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs.

LET IT FLOW. Indoors, ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs perform best in open
fixtures that allow airflow, such as table and floor lamps, wall
sconces, pendants, and open ceiling fixtures. When used outdoors, bulbs
should be placed in enclosed fixtures to protect them from the weather.

DID YOU KNOW?

ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs run cool, but are sensitive to heat,
so they will last longer when used in fixtures that allow plenty of air
flow.

where ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs can be used. For an interactive
learning experience visit [www.energystar.g](http://www.energystar.g/) o
v backslash CFLS and click on the How to Choose Guide.

HOW TO CHOOSE

Finding the right ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb for your home is
easy! Just ask yourself:

What shape and size of light bulb will fit the fixture?

How much light do I need in the room?

Do I want a warm yellow glow or a cooler shade of white light?

WHAT SHAPE AND SIZE?

Different fixtures need different types of bulbs. Using the chart below,
find your fixture and then see which bulbs will work best. I'M SPECIAL.
If a light fixture has a dimmer or a three-way socket, you'll need to
use a special ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb designed to work in these
applications. Check the packaging to find that special bulb.

TROUBLESHOOTING. Most photocells and timers are not designed to work
with CFLs. Check with your photocell or timer manufacturer for
compatibility.

LOOK FOR THE LUMENS

Watts are a measure of power; lumens are a measure of light. More lumens
mean

more light. ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs produce the same amount of lumens
as incandescent bulbs, but use about one quarter of the power.

Image of a covered A-shaped CFL with a glow and three arrows coming out
from the top of the bulb where the glow is with the Text "Lumens" and at
the bottom of the bulb an arrow points up into the screw base of the
bulb with the text "Watts". This image is to illustrate that Lumens are
the measure of light output and Watts are the measure of power.

How to Choose the Right ENERGY STAR qualified Light bulb chart. This
chart provides a grid with illustrations of common types of light
fixtures for the home along the top, and along the side the common types
of CFLs. The purpose of the chart is to help consumers choose the right
ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulb for their fixture.
For a Table or Floor Lamp you could use a bare spiral, bare tubed, or a
covered A-shape CFL. For Pendant Fixtures a covered A-shape or Globe CFL
is recommended for aesthetic preferences because the bulb is visible in
this type of fixture; however a bare spiral or bare tubed bulb would
work fine also. For a Covered Ceiling fixture a bare spiral or bare
tubes CFL is recommended since the bulb is not visible and covered
"decorative" CFLs tend to be more expensive. For a Ceiling Fan fixture
with lights the chart recommends a bare spiral, covered A-shape, candle
shaped, or small reflector CFL depending on the size and shape of the
light fixture. For wall sconces the chart recommends using a bare
spiral, bare tubed, or candle-shaped CFL. For a Recessed Can fixture the
chart recommends using a covered reflector CFL. For track lighting the
chart recommends covered reflector CFLs. For outdoor covered fixtures
the chart recommends using a bare spiral, bare tubed, covered A-shape
CFL, or candle/post CFL. And for Outdoor Flood light fixtures the chart
recommends outdoor covered reflector CFLs.

AVOID EARLY BURN OUT:

Only bulbs marked "dimmable" or "three-way" will work on dimmers or
three-way switches. Most photocells and timers are not designed to work
with CFLs.

HOW CFLs WORK

CFLs produce light differently than incandescent bulbs. In an
incandescent, electric current runs through a wire filament and heats
the filament until it starts to glow. In a CFL, an electric current is
driven through a tube containing argon and a small amount of mercury.
This generates invisible ultraviolet light that excites a coating on the
inside of the tube, which then emits the light you can see.

THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF LIGHT

To choose the ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb with the right amount of
light, find a bulb that is labeled as equivalent to the incandescent
bulb you are replacing. Light bulb manufacturers include this
information right on the product packaging to make it easy for consumers
to choose an equivalent bulb. Common terms include "Soft White 60" or
"60 watt Replacement." You can also check the lumen rating to find the
right bulb. The higher the lumen rating, the greater the amount of
light. To determine which ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs will provide
the same amount of light as your current incandescent bulbs, use the
chart below.

How much light do I need? This table shows three columns, one with
common incandescent light bulb wattages, one with the light output of
that bulb in lumens, and one with the common range of CFL wattages that
produce the same amount of light. First row, a 25-watt Incandescent bulb
has 250 lumens, as does a CFL with 4 to 9 watts. Second row, a 40-watt
Incandescent bulb has 450 lumens, as does a CFL with 9 to 13 watts.
Third row, a 60-watt Incandescent bulb has 800 lumens, as does a CFL
with 13 to 15 watts. Fourth row, a 75-watt Incandescent bulb has 1,100
lumens, as does a CFL with 18 to 25 watts. Fifth row, a 100-watt
Incandescent bulb has 1,600 lumens, as does a CFL with 23 to 30 watts.
Sixth row, a 125-watt incandescent bulb has 2,000 lumens, as does a CFL
with 22 to 40 watts. Last row, a 150-watt incandescent bulb has 2,600
lumens, as does a CFL with 40 to 45 watts.

DID YOU KNOW?

CFLs are made up of over 200 parts; most of them in the ballast. Older
CFLs use large and heavy magnetic ballasts that sometimes caused a
buzzing noise. ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs use electronic ballasts, which
should never buzz or hum.

Image of a dissected compact fluorescent bulb for the purpose of
describing the parts and functions. The illustration labels the cover
that is used on some CFLs, the lamp which is actually the technical term
for the glass part of the bulb, with a cross section of the glass tubing
that shows what is inside, argon gas, mercury vapor and a white phosphor
coating. Below the glass tubing is the ballast with many electrical
parts, the plastic ballast housing that covers the electronics, and the
aluminum screw base at the very bottom of the bulb.

What is color temperature?

The color of light is often referred to as the "color temperature",
which is measured on the Kelvin scale. Lower kelvin numbers mean the
light has a warmer glow, like a candle, while higher kelvin numbers mean
the light appears cooler, like the sky.

Some typical color temperatures. This table introduces color temperature
by showing the color temperature (measured on the Kelvin scale) for
common light sources. Candlelight has a color temperature of 1,500K, a
40 watt incandescent bulb has a color temperature of 2,680K, a halogen
bulb has a color temperature of 3000K, Sunrise or sunset has a color
temperature of 3,200K, 1 hour from dusk or dawn has a color temperature
of 3,400K, a camera flash has a color temperature of 5,500 to 5,600K,
and the blue sky has a color temperature of 9,000 to 12,000K.

Picture of a table lamp with a CFL with a color temperature of 2,700K.

WARM LIGHT: CFLs in the 2,700 to 3,000 kelvin range are commonly marked
"soft white" or "warm white." These bulbs will produce a familiar
yellowish glow just like your old bulbs.

Picture of a table lamp with a CFL with a color temperature of 3,500K.

BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT: CFLs in the 3,500 to 4,100 kelvin range are
sometimes marked "bright white" or "cool white." The light from these
bulbs will appear more white than yellow. This light is great for
working in the kitchen.

Picture of a table lamp with a CFL with a color temperature of 5000K.

DAYLIGHT: CFLs in the 5,000 to 6,500 kelvin range are often marked
"natural" or "daylight" because the color of the light is like daylight
at noon. This light will appear cooler, almost bluish, the higher the
number. This light is great for reading and work spaces.

CLOSING THE LOOP

When your CFL is finished you'll want to take it to be recycled. CFLs
contain a very small amount of mercury sealed within the glass tubing --
usually less than 5 milligrams -- about the size of the period at the
end of this sentence. By comparison, older thermometers contain about
500 milligrams of mercury -- an amount equal to the mercury in more than
100 CFLs. Mercury is an essential part of fluorescent lighting.

For help locating a recycling center that accepts CFLs, visit [www.epa.g
o v slash bulbrecycling]() or www.earth911.org.

If a CFL breaks at home, it can be easily and safely cleaned up by an
adult. The U.S. EPA provides cleanup recommendations at
[www.energystar.g o v slash CFLSandMercury]().

CFLs REDUCE THE MERCURY IN THE ENVIRONMENT

Burning coal to produce electricity is the main source of mercury
emissions in the United States. Since they use less electricity than
incandescent lights, CFLs reduce the amount of mercury released into the
environment. A 13-watt, 8,000- hour CFL will save 376 kilowatt hours
over its lifetime compared to its 60-watt incandescent equivalent, thus
preventing 4.6 milligrams of mercury from entering the environment. If
the bulb goes to a landfill, overall emissions savings would drop
slightly to 4.2 milligrams. Because most mercury binds to the inside of
a CFL as it is used, EPA estimates that only about 11 percent is
released into the air and water when the CFL goes to a landfill
(assuming it is broken). Recycle CFLs where possible to maximize mercury
savings (footnote 4).

Total Mercury Emissions, CFLs and Incandescent. Source: U.S. EPA June
2008. This bar graph shows milligrams of Mercury from zero to seven
along the y-axis and a 13-watt CFL and a 60-watt Incandescent bars along
the x-axis. The key has Landfilling in one-color and power plant
emissions in another color. The graph illustrates the point that even if
a 13-watt CFL is sent to a landfill after it burns out when the mercury
emissions from coal-fired power plants is considered, using a 13-watt
CFL instead of a 60-watt incandescent light bulb, actually results in
less mercury in the environment. The 13-watt CFL bar graph reaches up to
about 1.05 milligrams of mercury from power plant emissions with and
additional .55 milligrams of mercury from landfilling. The 60-watt
incandescent bar shows 5.8 milligrams of mercury from power plant
emissions.

DID YOU KNOW?

The average mercury content in CFLs has dropped significantly in recent
years, thanks to technology advances and a commitment from members of
the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. Manufacturers
continue to make further reductions: some CFLs now contain as little as
1 to 2 milligrams of mercury per bulb.

FUN FACTS

If you replace five regular light bulbs with ENERGY STAR qualified light
bulbs, you'll save over 1,400 kilowatt hours over the lifetime of the
bulbs. That's enough energy to:

Run your ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washer for more than seven years
(footnote 5).

Light your whole house for nearly nine months (footnote 6).

Light up more than 235 strings of holiday lights during the winter
holiday season (footnote 7).

Five ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs will save about \$150 in
electricity costs over their lifetime. That's enough money to:

Purchase at least one new ENERGY STAR qualified light fixture.

Buy more than 75 soft-serve ice cream cones (footnote 8).

Buy enough candles for 40 romantic dinners (footnote 9).

An ENERGY STAR qualified light bulb will last six times longer on
average than an equivalent incandescent bulb. The long life will save
you:

Five trips up a ladder to change out bulbs in hard-to-reach fixtures.

Five bad jokes about "How many dads does it take to change a light
bulb?"

Five renditions of "Honey, the light bulbs out again!"

SECTION II: MARKET DATA

DRIVING CONSUMER DEMAND

Despite the dramatic increase in sales, household CFL saturation remains
relatively low. With an estimated national household saturation at about
10 percent, there is still enormous energy savings potential for CFLs.
Increasing the sales of ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs requires
effective consumer education. Educating consumers is a multi-step
process, generally categorized into the following stages:

1\. AWARENESS: Consumers discover ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs as
alternatives to incandescent bulbs.

2\. BENEFITS: Consumers understand how ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs will
benefit them.

3\. WHERE TO USE: Consumers learn where ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs work
best.

4\. HOW TO CHOOSE: Consumers know which bulbs to purchase for which
light fixtures.

Lighting Up North American Sales of Light bulbs by type. This bar graph
shows the sales and projected sales for Compact fluorescent light bulbs
and incandescent light bulbs from 1998 to 2010. The graph shows sales in
units from zero to 2 billion along the y axis and years from 1998 to
2010 along the x axis. From 1998 to 2000 incandescent sales were close
to 2 billion units and CFL sales were barely present. In 2001 to 2005
incandescent sales dropped a little bit closer to 1.5 billion units
while CFL sales grew to about 125 billion units. In 2006 Incandescent
sales dropped to about 1.5 billion units and CFL sales grew to about .25
billion units. The graph goes on to project that from 2007 to 2010
incandescent sales will continue to decline to under 1 billion units and
CFL sales will rise to about .5 billion units.

ENERGY STAR MARKET SHARE.

In the past 10 years, the market for CFLs has increased significantly,
with a dramatic rise in shipments and market share in the past 3 years.
Shipments have grown from less than 21 million units in 2000 to more
than 397 million units in 2007 (footnote 10). Market share for CFLs has
grown from 2 percent in 2004 to more than 20 percent in 2007 (footnote
11). As CFL market share continues to grow, total sales of incandescent
bulbs are expected to decline. Due to the longer lifetimes of CFLs, the
market adoption of CFLs has a disproportionate impact on the
incandescent bulb market since many incandescent bulbs equal one CFL
lifetime.

Despite increased awareness of CFLs, consumers need more education to
understand how to choose and where to use CFLs.

ENERGY STAR CRITERIA

ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs must meet a number of efficiency and quality
benchmarks to earn the label. A few examples are listed below.

EFFICIENCY. The efficiency of light bulbs is referred to as efficacy,
which is the measure of light output (lumens) compared to the energy
needed to power the bulb (watts). ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs generally
provide three to four times more lumens per watt than incandescent
bulbs.

LONG LIFETIME. The minimum lifetime requirement is 6,000 hours, which is
about five years based on typical use. The average lifetime of all
ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs is 8,000 hours, with some lasting as long as
15,000 hours.

QUALITY ASSURANCE. All qualified bulbs are required to come with a
manufacturer warranty of at least two years for residential use, and at
least one year for commercial use. Qualified CFLs are subject to
independent third party testing.

QUICK START. Bulbs must start in under a second. Note that start time is
different than warm up time, i.e., the time it takes for a CFL to come
to full brightness. Bulbs must reach full brightness in less than three
minutes.

SAFETY. Bulbs must be UL listed for fire safety.

RELIABILITY. Bulbs must pass tests that show that they can withstand
voltage surges and frequent on/off cycling.

the bulb into a table lamp. When installing CFLs, twist the bulb from
the plastic part, not the glass tubing.

NEW! ENERGY STAR CFL Criteria 4.0 Effective December 2, 2008.

High heat protection. Indoor reflector CFLs must pass a high heat test
to ensure more reliable performance in recessed can applications.

Candelabra base CFLs are now eligible for qualification.

Color consistency. Bulbs must fall within the range of one of the six
designated color temperatures (2,700 kelvin, 3,000 kelvin, 3,500 kelvin,
4,100 kelvin, 5,000 kelvin, or 6,500 kelvin), which must be listed on
product packaging so consumers can find the color they prefer.

Mercury and recycling information on all product packaging.
Manufacturers must have a commitment form on file with National
Equipment Manufacturers Association Voluntary Commitment on Mercury in
CFLs ([www.cfl-mercury.org](http://www.cfl-mercury.org/)). Product
packaging must include the Hg symbol for mercury and one of the approved
Web site addresses for locating lamp recycling facilities.

base CFLs are new to the ENERGY STAR family.

ENERGY STAR SAVINGS. This table shows annual and lifetime savings when
incandescent light bulbs are replaced with an equivalent ENERGY STAR
qualified CFL. If a 40 watt incandescent bulb is replaced with an eleven
watt ENERGY STAR qualified CFL annual savings are 32 kWh and \$3. If the
CFL has a 6,000 hour lifetime the savings are \$19 over the lifetime of
the ENERGY STAR qualified CFL. Save \$25 with a 8,000 hour CFL, \$31
with a 10,000 hour CFL, and \$47 with a 15,000 hour CFL.

If a 60-watt incandescent bulb is replaced with a 13 watt ENERGY STAR
qualified CFL annual savings are 51-kilowatt hour and \$5. If the CFL
has a 6,000-hour lifetime the savings are \$30 over the lifetime of the
ENERGY STAR qualified CFL. Save \$41 with a 8,000 hour CFL, \$51 with a
10,000 hour CFL, and \$76 with a 15,000 hour CFL.

If a 75-watt incandescent bulb is replaced with a 20 watt ENERGY STAR
qualified CFL annual savings are 60-kilowatt hour and \$6. If the CFL
has a 6,000-hour lifetime the savings are \$36 over the lifetime of the
ENERGY STAR qualified CFL. Save \$48 with a 8,000 hour CFL, \$59 with a
10,000 hour CFL, and \$89 with a 15,000 hour CFL.

If a 100-watt incandescent bulb is replaced with a 26 watt ENERGY STAR
qualified CFL annual savings are 81-kilowatt hour and \$9. If the CFL
has a 6,000-hour lifetime the savings are \$48 over the lifetime of the
ENERGY STAR qualified CFL. Save \$64 with an 8,000 hour CFL, \$80 with a
10,000 hour CFL, and \$120 with a 15,000 hour CFL.

This table compares the energy savings, along with the lifetime savings
including the cost of the bulbs when switching from a 1,000 hour, 60
watt incandescent bulb to a 6,000 hour 13 watt ENERGY STAR qualified
CFL. Purchase price is estimated to be \$3.00 for the CFL and 50 cents
for the incandescent bulb. Because the CFL lifetime is 6 times that of
the incandescent you would need to buy 5 more incandescent bulb to last
as long as the one CFL which adds \$2.50 to the incandescent bulb. Next
the table shows the operating cost based on an electricity rate of 10.6
cents per kilowatt-hour, \$8.42 for the CFL, and \$38.88 for the
incandescent bulb. At the bottom of the table is TOTAL COST, \$11.42 for
the CFL and \$41.88 for the incandescent bulbs over the 6,000 hours that
one CFL would last.
