The Department of Energy (DOE) has adopted two new rules for commonly-used light bulbs which are intended to phase out most incandescent bulbs in favor of LED lightbulbs, which use less energy and last significantly longer.

DOE estimates that, when fully implemented, consumers will save nearly $3 billon on their energy bills and the rules will curb carbon emissions by more than 222 million metric tons over the next 30 years.

DOE announced a webinar to discuss the enforcement policy on May 4, 2022, to answer questions from the regulated community. Registration for the webinar is available here.
