SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Outdoor Lighting Efficiency Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Of all the electricity generated in the United States, 
        4.4 percent is consumed for outdoor lighting.
            (2) Outdoor lighting represents approximately 20 percent of 
        all electricity consumed for lighting purposes in the United 
        States.
            (3) Efficient outdoor lighting technologies provide light 
        quality equal or superior to other technologies in common use 
        today.
            (4) Efficient outdoor lighting technologies often have 
        longer product lifetimes than other technologies in common use 
        today.
            (5) The use of efficient outdoor lighting technologies will 
        substantially reduce waste and emissions from power generation, 
        and reduce the cost of electricity used in certain commercial 
        and government applications, such as lighting the Nation's 
        roadways and parking lots.

Outdoor Lighting Efficiency Act - Amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to include as "covered equipment" outdoor luminares and outdoor high light output lamps, as defined in this Act.

Specifies the lighting efficiency, lumen maintenance, and light level production capability required for each outdoor luminare manufactured on or after January 1 of 2011, 2013, and 2015. Requires the Secretary of Energy (DOE), by January 1, 2017, to issue a final rule amending such efficiency standards to establish standards at the maximum level that is technically feasible and economically justified.

Requires each outdoor high light output lamp manufactured on or after January 1, 2012, to have a lighting efficiency of at least 45 lumens per watt.

Sets forth provisions governing energy efficiency test procedures for such luminares and lamps.

Provides that state standards that are adopted on or before January 1, 2015, pursuant to a requirement to adopt efficiency standards for reducing outdoor lighting energy use enacted prior to January 31, 2008, shall not be preempted.
To amend the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to provide for standards for energy efficient outdoor lighting.
