What am I trying to do? How am I going to do it? What lamp (or light source) will do what I need it to do? What fixture will accept that light source?

IECC 2009
Adopted in ALL northeast states...Vermont as of 1/1/11 Affects residential projects for first time The essence of the code is...
50% of the total number of SOCKETS in all of the installed fixtures must meet the minimum efficacy requirements established by the IECC 2009 code.
40 lumens per watt for lamps less than 15 watts 50 lumens per watt for lamps from 15 - 40 watts 60 lumens per watt for lamps from 40 watts and up ***Linear light sources are not defined, but typically use (1) lamp per foot when calculating totals

EISA 2012
Does NOT mean that incandescent lamps are no longer available...no need to stock up on your favorite lamp. Effective January 2012, 100 watt incandescent A lamps can be maximum of 72 watts and lumen output of 1490-2600 Effective January 2013, 75 watt incandescent A lamps can be maximum of 53 watts and lumen output of 1050-1489 Effective January 2014, 60 watt incandescent A lamps can be a maximum of 43 watts and lumen output of 750-1049 Does not affect rough service, 3-way, G25, G30, T and candelabra based lamps New efficacy requirements for halogen MR16, PAR20 and PAR30 lamps...most IR halogen lamps meet the requirements already. 65 watt BR30 lamps are exempt
Energy Star
Energy Star rating does not (necessarily) have anything to do with quality of illumination or quality of light output. It is a rating that primarily refers to ballast efficiency and LED driver efficiency. Mostly covers CFL lamps and fixtures, but the list of qualified LED fixtures is growing. Go to www.energystar.gov for list of Energy Star rated or qualified products Dont stray from the design criteria...color temperature, glare control, effective light output, dimmability, effect on people, etc.
LIGHTING DESIGN FOR THE ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME DISTRIBUTION OF LIGHT SOURCES
Energy Efficient Lighting should never look energy efficient What are the most determining factors? Do our determining factors change just because we are using energy efficient fixtures? Draw comparisons to energy efficient appliances...are you giving anything up? Are you losing expected qualities in order to achieve energy efficient standards? Use the same critical process in selecting energy efficient lighting that you would use for normal lighting.
Color Temperature (CCT in Kelvin degrees) acceptable range is 2700K - 3000K for most interior applications Color Rendering (CRI) Distribution is the spread of illumination the equal to the existing technology? Accurate Replacement Capability is it truly a viable replacement for the existing technology? is it worth the additional cost? Flexibility and Sustainability will it be obsolete in a year?
LED TECHNOLOGY
LED
CFL
Good for intense, directional lighting such as highlighting Instant on to full intensity Full range dimming No mercury Very high initial cost Emerging technology with potential to be obsolete quickly in favor of advanced product
Good for wide-spread, softer illumination Not instant on to full intensity Not true full range dimming Mercury disposal issues Affordable initial cost Established technology that has improved greatly

PROPER DISTANCES ARE THE KEY distance from fixture to back wall distance from fixture to closest ceiling surface MEET EXPECTATIONS... is it purely an accent light? does it need to provide more general illumination? it will ALWAYS be brightest closest to the light source THE SAME DETERMINING FACTORS ARE IMPORTANT... lamp life, wattage consumption, heat production, etc.
