CEE’s Residential Lighting Initiative, launched in 1994 and updated in 2001, has undergone another revision.

The revised initiative, approved by the CEE Board of Directors on June 16, includes an expanded scope that addresses compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and all types of fixtures.

It also details a role for CEE in monitoring emerging technologies, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In addition, program guidance for members interested in promoting lighting fixtures and ceiling fans is now a part of the initiative.

“The new scope of the revised initiative reflects the diversity of program strategies members use to increase residential lighting efficiency,” said CEE Senior Residential Program Manager Rebecca Foster, who manages the initiative.

“By including CFLs, fixtures and emerging technologies, we’re providing a broad mix of program approaches from which members can choose.”

The 23-page appendix to the initiative, Recommended Approaches for the Promotion of ENERGY STAR^® Light Fixtures and Ceiling Fans, offers detailed information about program strategies and market barriers for these products.

An updated definition of participation is also part of the revision.
