Energy Policy

Metal Halide Legislation

(EISA) Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007

Implementation Date: January 1, 2009

Products Affected: All metal halide fixtures (indoor or outdoor) from 150 to 500 watts. Products not

compliant can no longer be manufactured after December 31, 2008.

Inventory: Replacement lamps and ballast for probe start (standard metal halide) will remain available and
are not affected by the legislation. Remaining probe start fixture inventory may be sold after January 1, 2009,
provided it was manufactured prior to January 1, 2009.

Purpose/Intent: Shift the US to energy independence and utilization of higher efciency lighting products.

Luminaire Exemptions:

Standards do not apply to fixtures that:

• Use electronic ballast rated for 480 volts

• Use regulated lag ballast

• Fixtures that meet all of the following criteria

(within a single fixture):

1. Contain a ballast rated to operate at an ambient
air temperature above 50˚ C as specified by
UL 1029-2001

2. Rated for wet location use as defined by National
Electrical Code 2002 Section 410.4(A)

3. Are only rated for 150W lamps

Label Identification:

• Circle E logo is required on ballast contained in

the fixture, product packaging, all advertising and
marketing materials (merchandising, catalogs,
website content, point of purchase, etc.)*.

• Affected products (150W - 500W) manufactured on

or after January 1, 2009, require the
identification mark.

Benefits of Pulse Start Metal Halide
vs Probe Start :

• Faster restrike time (3-4 minutes)

• Half the warm up time (2 minutes)

• 25% to 50% improved lumen output (efcacy)

• Improved illumination levels over life

(better lumen maintenance)

• Colder starting temperatures
