New standard of incandescent lamp will be launched on New Year's day in California, USA.

California, the United States, will take the lead in saying goodbye to high energy consumption incandescent lamps in January 1st next year, while other states will eliminate incompatible incandescent lamps in 2020.

The law still allows stores to sell old incandescent inventories, but prohibit the sale of incandescent lamps that are not up to standard specifications after January 1st.

The rule comes from the bill signed by George W. Bush in 2007 to "gradually implement the new bulb standard". The latest light regulation will come into effect in 2020, and the federal law allows California to start the regulation two years ahead of schedule and begin execution on New Year's day in 2018. George W. Bush.

In fact, the requirement is not a total prohibition of incandescent bulbs. Instead, it requires that the incandescent lamp manufactured by next January 1st must reach 45 lumens per watt, which is three times the efficiency of the original incandescent lamp.

However, there are few incandescent lamps that meet the new standards and regulations. Most consumers may turn to CFL or LED lamps. Compared with incandescent lamps, LED lights not only need no warm time, but also save 80% of the electricity.

60 watt incandescent bulbs and 10 watt LED lamps have the same lighting effect, while LED has a longer life. If used for 3 hours a day, it can be used for 15 to 20 years, eliminating the trouble of replacing light bulbs.

The Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that if 200 million 5 thousand incandescent lamps in California are replaced by LED lights, it will save 1 billion dollars in electricity for the state.
