Mr. Terry Logee, convener of the meeting, introduced himself and asked each person present to identify themselves and their affiliation.
II. BACKGROUND The Energy Policy Act of 1992 requires the Department of Energy to undertake a rule-making to implement the Act's provisions. The Department is presently working on an interim final rule for the sections of the Act pertaining to lamps. Today's meeting is
DOE Inc
. Refl. Lamp Workshop

- 1- November 3, 1993to obtain comment on how the Department should proceed with

regard to two issues concerning the definition of incandescent reflector lamp. The Act defines an incandescent reflector lamp as meaning any incandescent lamp , which is not colored or designed for rough and service vibration applications, that contains an inner reflective coating on the outer bulb to direct the light, an R, PAR, or similar bulb shapes (excluding ER or BR) with E26 medium screw bases, a rated voltage or voltage range that lies at least partially within 115 and 130 volts, a diameter which exceed 2.75 inches, and is either: a. A low(er) wattage reflector lamp which has a rated wattage between 40 and 205 watts, or b. A high(er) wattage reflector lamp which has a rated wattage above 205 watts. Accordingly, the Act provides for an exemption to the energy conservation standards and labelling of "colored" lamps and for those "designed for rough or vibration service applications". Mr. Logee stated that the Department had sought comment and received views on these two matters (Please see Exhibit A).
III. DISCUSSION The attendees reviewed the history of the Act and the development of the definition of incandescent reflector lamp. Views were expressed on the nature and size of the niche market for rough and vibration service applications. It was noted that Lawrence Berkeley Labs had conducted some research on the market. Comments were received on the long-life characteristics and designs of these lamps. Attendees discussed the development of a prescriptive definition for excluding rough or vibration service application lamps as well as a performance-based definition using testing standards. It was noted that while there is no standard definition for these products in the IES or ANSI standards, there are several test standards (e.g., the Naval Hot Shot Test) that might be useful. After extensive discussion, Mr. Logee thanked the attendees for their views and encouraged them to consider the various points raised. The Department would like to receive further comment on how to provide for a legitimate exemption while insuring that the exemption not be used as a loophole to thwart the Act's energy efficiency requirements. Mr. Logee then directed discussion on how to define "colored" lamps for purposes of exemption. Attendees reviewed various proposals. It was suggested that the CRI approach be used and that lamps should be tested to determine a CRI value that would be used to determine whether the product was or was not a 'colored lamp. DOE Inc. Refl. Lamp Workshop -2- November 3, 1993Mr. Treado of NIST will conduct tests and also requested test

data from any manufacturers. Based on the testing, Mr. Treado will circulate a report to the attendees for review and comment. It was noted that this approach should resolve this matter.
IV. ADJOURNMENT Mr. Logee adjourned the meeting at 5:03 P.M. Reported by : Kyle Pitsor NEMA Government Affairs November 4, 1993

### October 26, 1993 REPLY To Arru OF : 

### Terry Logee, (202) 586-1689

sueJECT: 

### Proposed definitions for colored lamps and rough or vibration service incandescent reflector lamps

TO: 

### Distribution A summary of the various proposals which DOE has received is listed below. Please be prepared to discuss these and any other suggestions you may have at the meeting at NEMA on Nov. 3r0. Rough or Vibration Service Application: NEMA: single coiled filament , 4 or more supports on C-9 and 5 or more supports for C-7A, C-11, C-17 and C-22. Angelo Brothers : single coiled filament , 6 or more supports , C-17 or C-22 filament. LBL: Special Efficacy Standards for vibration service lamps, Rough service as C-17 filament. 

### DOE: Would like to maintain the 20% market share of reflector lamps now held by the C-9 filament lamps.
Colored Lamp: Angelo Brothers: For reflector lamps, the clear version of the colored lamp would have to meet the standards. LBL: Define an envelope in the X - Y Chromaticity diagram as white lamps. Lamps outside this area would be colored lamps. 

### NIST: A colored lamp has a CRI less than 0.
