covered equipment manufactured on or after the ef-
fective date of such new or revised standard shall, 
when in standby mode, operate with not more than 
1 watt of electric power. 
‘‘(2) EXCEPTIONS.— 
‘‘(A) EXTENSIONS.—The Secretary may 
provide a single extension of up to 5 years for 
compliance with paragraph (1) with respect to 
a covered equipment if the Secretary finds that 
such extension is appropriate. 
‘‘(B) EXEMPTIONS.—The Secretary may 
provide an exemption from the requirement 
under paragraph (1) for covered equipment, 
after public notice and opportunity for com-
ment, if the Secretary finds that— 
‘‘(i) achieving the requirement is not 
technologically feasible and economically 
justified for that covered equipment; or 
‘‘(ii) such an exemption is warranted 
for medical or military reasons. 
Any exemption provided under this subpara-
graph shall be reviewed at least once every 5 
years.’’.

(42 U.S.C. 6314(a)) is amended by adding at the end the 
following new paragraph: 
‘‘(9) Not later than July 1, 2009, the Secretary shall

power consumption for all covered equipment, except for 
equipment for which the current test procedure already 
measures standby power consumption.’’.

(a) PROHIBITION.— 
(1) REGULATIONS.—Not later than 1 year after 
the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of

eral service incandescent lamps after January 
1, 2012, unless those lamps emit at least 60 
lumens per watt; 
(B) prohibiting the sale of general service 
lamps manufactured after the effective dates 
shown in the table below that do not meet the 
minimum efficacy levels (lumens/watt) shown in 
the following table:

300 percent of the average lumens per watt 
emitted by 100 watt incandescent general serv-
ice lamps that are commercially available as of 
the date of enactment of this Act; 
(D) establishing a minimum color ren-
dering index (CRI) of 80 or higher for all gen-
eral service lamps manufactured as of the effec-
tive dates in subparagraph (B); and

EXEMPTIONS.—The 
regulations 
issued 
under paragraph (1) shall include procedures for the 
Secretary to exempt specialty lamps from the re-

quirements of paragraph (1). The Secretary may 
provide such an exemption only in cases where the 
Secretary finds, after a hearing and opportunity for 
public comment, that it is not technically feasible to 
serve a specialized lighting application, such as a 
military, medical, public safety application, or in cer-
tified historic lighting applications using bulbs that 
meet the requirements of paragraph (1). In addition, 
the Secretary shall include as an additional criterion 
that exempted products are unlikely to be used in 
the general service lighting applications. 
(3) ADDITIONAL LAMPS TYPES.— 
(A) Manufacturers of rough service, vibra-
tion service, vibration resistant, appliance, shat-
ter resistant, and three-way lamps shall report 
annual sales volume to the Secretary. If the 
Secretary determines that annual sales volume 
for any of these lamp types increases by 100 
percent relative to 2009 sales in any later year, 
then such lamps shall by subject to the fol-
lowing standards: 
(i) Appliance lamps shall use no more 
than 40 watts. 
(ii) Rough service lamps shall use no 
more than 40 watts.

(iii) Vibration service and vibration 
resistant lamps shall use no more than 40 
watts. 
(iv) Three-way lamps shall comply 
with the standards in paragraph (1) at 
each level of rated lumen output. 
(B) Rough service, vibration service, vibra-
tion resistant, appliance, shatter resistant, and 
three-way lamps shall be available for sale at 
retail in single packs only. 
(4) CIVIL PENALTY.—The Secretary of Energy 
shall include in regulations under this subsection a 
schedule of appropriate civil penalties for violations 
of the prohibitions under this subsection. Such pen-
alties shall be in an amount sufficient to ensure 
compliance with this section. 
(5) STATE PREEMPTION.—State standards for 
general service lamps are preempted as of the date 
of enactment of this Act, except— 
(A) any State standard already enacted or 
adopted as of the date of enactment of this Act 
may be enforced until the Federal effective 
dates for each lamp category, and such States 
may modify existing State standards for general
