7A.1 I NTRODUCTION

**In a**  **ddition 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 F LUORESCENT LAMP BALLASTS

**For t**  **he 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.**

7A.3 INCANDESCENT REFLECTOR LAMPS

**As d**  **iscussed 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.** 

**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**  **home**

**improvement /**  **hardware stores.**  **Table 7A.3**  **presents the**  **end­user prices**  **DOE used**  **for the**  **65W**

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