ENERGY STAR qualified light fixtures are designed to save energy and lower monthly utility bills. ENERGY STAR lighting fixtures use 50-70 percent less energy than incandescent or halogen lamps, while giving off the same amount of light.
ENERGY STAR qualified light fixtures are available in a variety of styles and colors and can be used for indoor, outdoor, portable and hard-wired home lighting. The types of energy efficient light fixtures available include table lamps, torchieres, cabinet lighting, ceiling-mounted lighting, wall-mounted lighting, recessed lighting and architectural lighting.
ENERGY STAR qualified fixtures are available in quick-start no-hum indoor models, indoor models with dimming or switching capabilities, and outdoor models with automatic daylight shut-off and motion sensors.
Check to see if pricing discounts or mail-in rebates are available on qualifed light fixtures.
Generally, ENERGY STAR qualified lighting fixtures are more energy efficient because they use compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs, that produce the same bright warm color light as incandescent light bulbs, but use one-third of the energy. ENERGY STAR qualified lighting fixtures also offer the light color and temperature of your choice, setting a mood from warm to cool.
Light fixtures that are ENERGY STAR qualified meet strict energy-efficiency criteria to ensure that consumers will not sacrifice performance to save energy. Every ENERGY STAR qualified light fixture carries at least a two-year warranty.
