APPENDIX 7A. ADDITIONAL END­USER PRICES

7A.1 INTRODUCTION

In addition to developing low, mid, and high average end­user prices for lamps, DOE

also developed a single average end­user price for the new and replacement ballasts analyzed in

the NIA and LCC and for the 65W BR30 and reflector compact fluorescent lamps (reflector

CFL) analyzed in the NIA. As with the end­user lamp prices in Chapter 7, DOE also added sales

tax and installation costs to derive installation costs for the 65W BR30 lamp, reflector CFL, and

ballasts. This appendix contains the end­user prices results for the 65W BR30 lamp, reflector

CFL, and fluorescent lamp ballasts.

7A.2 FLUORESCENT LAMP BALLASTS

For the replacement ballasts considered in the analysis, DOE gathered prices from

publicly available manufacturer price schedules and applied a uniform discount that is customary

for pricing to large customers. All ballast prices represent contractor net price plus contractor

mark­up for ballasts purchased from a distributor. DOE computed a simple average end­user

price by applying a 50­percent mark­up above the lowest price paid in large multi­year state

procurement contracts. Based on conversations with industry experts, DOE believes these prices

are representative of average end­user sales prices. DOE was able to obtain data on actual prices

for ballasts it considered in the analyses.

** Reflects pricing for two 2­lamp ballasts used in the NIA only.

7A.3 INCANDESCENT REFLECTOR LAMPS

As discussed in Chapter 9 and Appendix 5A, DOE considered the potential substitution

of 65W BR30 Lamps for covered IRL in the shipments analysis. In addition, DOE allows users

to consider the potential substitution of reflector CFL in the shipments analysis. As a result,

DOE developed a single average end­user price for the 65W BR30 lamp and the reflector CFL.

7A­1
To do this, DOE discounted the blue book price of the 65W BR30 lamp and reflector CFL,

deriving end­user prices that are consistent with those observed on internet retail sites and homeimprovement / hardware stores. Table 7A.2 presents the end­user prices DOE used for the 65W

BR30 lamp and the reflector CFL in the shipments analysis and national impact analysis.
