MaxLite says it has achieved placement of a GU24 LED A19 lamp on the Energy Star Certified Subcomponent Database (CSD), making it easier and quicker for lighting fixture manufacturers to launch Energy Star qualified LED lighting fixtures into the marketplace.
MaxLite’s GU24 LED Omnidirectional lamp will reduce costs in Energy Star testing to manufacturers and reduce the time it takes to complete the product qualification process for makers of specific lighting fixtures including decorative pendants and chandeliers, ceiling fan light kits, bath vanity fixtures and wall sconces.
The Omnidirectional GU24 10-watt LED A19 lamp emits B2B Email List equivalent light to a 13-watt compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) or a 60-watt incandescent lamp, and distributes a 300-degree beam of uniform white light with even illumination from the socket base in all directions. Lumen maintenance is maximized by using a multi-layered tapered heat sink.
Previously, fixture manufacturers seeking an Energy Star CSD light source had to sacrifice dimming in favor of energy savings. MaxLite’s Omnidirectional GU24 LED A19 lamp is dimmable down to five percent on a wide variety of common dimming controls. The LED lamps are matched for color quality and consistency and are designed with a proprietary housing for thermal heat protection that keeps the LED junction temperature well below specification.
The Mercury and Air Toxics Standards sets limits for mercury emissions at 0.003 pound/GWh, a slightly higher rate than the 0.002 pound/GWh initial limit set in December 2011. In 2012, the agency agreed to review those limits after a challenge by industry. The standards have since been the subject of ongoing lawsuits by companies and counter-suits by nonprofits.
After considering dozens of public comments from industry and environmental groups, the EPA announced the finalized standards last Friday. The finalized rule limits filterable particulate matter emissions from new coal-fired power plants to 0.09 pound/MWh and hydrogen chloride to 0.01 pound/MWh. It restricts sulfur dioxide to 1.0 pound/MWh from coal-fired power plants, and lead to 0.02 pound/GWh.
The standards only apply to future power plants and do not change the types of pollution control technology that plants would install.
According to the agency, the standards will prevent as many as 11,000 premature deaths and 4,700 heart attacks every year.
Also on March 28, the EPA proposed stricter rules on gasoline and vehicle emissions and updates to the agency’s 2012 performance standards for storage tanks used in oil and natural gas production.
The proposed updates to the oil and gas storage tank standards reflect recent information showing that more higher-volume storage tanks will be coming on line than the agency originally estimated, the EPA says. The updates would also provide storage tank owners and operators additional time to comply with a requirement to reduce volatile organic compound emissions while equipment to reduce those emissions is being manufactured.
EPA will take comment on today’s proposal for 30 days after it is published in the Federal Register and will hold a public hearing if requested.
