APPENDIX 5A. ENGINEERING RESULTS USED IN THE SHIPMENTS, NATIONAL 

IMPACTS, AND LIFE-CYCLE COST SUBGROUP ANALYSES 

5A.1 INTRODUCTION 

 This appendix presents some additional engineering results used in the shipments 

analysis, national impacts analysis (NIA), and life-cycle cost (LCC) subgroup analysis. In 

addition to many of the lamp and lamp-and-ballast designs considered in the primary LCC and 

payback period (PBP) analysis, the shipments analysis and national impact analysis (NIA) 

includes designs that do not save energy or do not emit lumens within 10 percent of the baseline 

lamp-and-ballast system. Product substitutions like reflector compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) 

that are not included in the LCC and PBP analysis are also considered in the NIA and shipments 

analysis. Furthermore, the LCC subgroup analysis contains an assessment of LCC and PBP 

results for consumers of fluorescent T12 electronic baseline lamp-and-ballast systems, and the 

engineering results for those systems are presented in this appendix. 

5A.2 GENERAL SERVICE FLUORESCENT LAMPS 

5A.2.1 Systems Used in the Shipments Analysis and NIA 

 The following tables list the lamp-and-ballast designs used in the general service 

fluorescent lamp (GSFL) shipments analysis and the NIA. In addition to many of the lamp-andballast designs considered in the LCC and PBP analysis, the shipments analysis and NIA include 

designs that do not save energy or do not emit lumens within 10 percent of the baseline lampand-ballast system.
