Phase Out of Incandescent Lamps: Implications for International Supply and Demand for Regulatory Compliant Lamps

Paul Waide

No 2010/5, IEA Energy Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: Since early 2007 almost all OECD and many non-OECD governments have announced policies aimed at phasing-out incandescent lighting within their jurisdictions. This study considers the implications of these policy developments in terms of demand for regulatory compliant lamps and the capacity and motivation of the lamp industry to produce efficient lighting products in sufficient volume to meet future demand. To assess these issues, it reviews the historic international screw-based lamp market, describes the status of international phase-out policies and presents projections of anticipated market responses to regulatory requirements to determine future demand for CFLs.
