APPENDIX 6A. ENERGY USE CHARACTERIZATION RESULTS USED IN THE 

SHIPMENTS, NATIONAL IMPACTS, AND LIFE-CYCLE COST SUBGROUP 

ANALYSES 

6A.1 INTRODUCTION 

This appendix presents the energy end use characterization 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 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 such as 

reflector compact fluorescent lamps (R-CFL) that are not included in the LCC and PBP analyses 

are also considered in the NIA. Furthermore, the LCC subgroup analysis includes an assessment 

of LCC and PBP results for consumers of fluorescent T12 electronic baseline lamp-and-ballast 

systems, and the energy use characterizations for those systems are presented in this appendix.

 A notation of the form “1.18BF32Elec” indicates a lamp-ballast system consisting of a 32W lamp paired with an 

electronic ballast of a 1.18 ballast factor. “0.95BF40 Mag” refers to lamp-ballast system of a 40W lamp paired with 

a magnetic ballast of a 0.95 ballast factor.
