High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamps are electric lamps that produce light in a small arc tube under high internal pressure. Typical applications for these lamps are street and roadway lighting, area lighting such as parking lots and stadiums, industrial and commercial building interior lighting, commercial, industrial and residential security lighting, and landscape lighting. There are three HID lamp types: mercury vapor, metal halide, and high pressure sodium. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA, 42 U.S.C.6317(a)(1)) requires the Department of Energy (the Department) to undertake a determination to see if energy conservation standards for HID lamps would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings.
The Department makes available for public comment a draft report, High-Intensity Discharge Lamps Analysis of Potential Energy Savings, December 2004 . The Department solicits comments, data and information concerning the analysis in the report. This report does not contain a final determination, however, it will be one of the considerations of the Secretary of Energy in making a determination if mandatory energy conservation standards are technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings.
