As of January 1, 2023, legislation has changed regarding the sale and production of halogen and incandescent light bulbs. This is an important change that will affect consumers and businesses alike. At Bay to Bay Ace Hardware, we want to keep our customers informed about this change and how it will affect them.
The new legislation is designed to promote energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of lighting. The new standard requires that light bulbs must use less energy to produce the same amount of light. This means that halogen and incandescent bulbs will no longer be produced or sold in the United States. Instead, consumers will have to choose from a variety of more energy-efficient options, such as LED and CFL bulbs.
This may be a significant change for many people, but there are a number of benefits
to switching to more energy-efficient bulbs. For one, they use less electricity, which means lower energy bills. They also last longer, which means less maintenance and fewer replacements. Additionally, they produce less heat, which can help to reduce the load on air conditioning systems during hot summer months.
At Bay to Bay Ace Hardware, we are committed to helping our customers make the transition to energy-efficient lighting. We offer a wide variety of LED and CFL bulbs in different shapes, sizes, and colors to fit any need. Our knowledgeable staff can help you find the right bulbs for your home or business and answer any questions you may have about the new legislation.
We understand that change can be difficult, but we believe that the new legislation will ultimately be a positive step towards a more sustainable future. By making the switch to energy-efficient lighting, we can all do our part to reduce our carbon footprint and help protect the environment for future generations.
In conclusion, the legislation change regarding the sale and production of halogen and incandescent light bulbs is an important step towards promoting energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. At Bay to Bay Ace Hardware, we are committed to helping our customers make the transition to more energy-efficient lighting and we are ready to assist you in any way we can. We hope that this change will be a positive step towards a more sustainable future for all of us.
