High Wattage Incandescent Replacements?

DallasLightbulb.com is trying to keep up with demmands from consumers regarding replacement bulbs for the high wattage BR30 and BR40 incandescent reflector. As you may know the US government & the EPA have banned the manufacturing of high wattage incandescents. Here is more information to reference.

Incandescent lights

Under the law, incandescent bulbs that produce 310–2600 lumens of light are effectively phased out between 2012 and 2014. Bulbs outside this range (roughly, light bulbs currently less than 40 watts or more than 150 watts) are exempt from the ban. Also exempt are several classes of speciality lights, including appliance lamps, “rough service” bulbs, 3-way, colored lamps, and plant lights.

The phase-out of incandescent light bulbs was supported by the Alliance to Save Energy, a coalition of light bulb manufacturers, electric utilities and conservation groups. The group estimated that lighting accounts for 22% of total U.S. electricity usage, and that eliminating incandescent bulbs completely would save $18 billion per year (equivalent to the output of 80 coal plants. Light bulb manufacturers also hoped a single national standard would prevent the enactment of conflicting bans and efficiency standards by state governments.(courtesy of Wikepedia)

Some Affected Lamp Types:

50WattR20, 75WattR20, 75WattER30, 120WattER30, 90Watt, 100Watt, 120Watt, 120Watt R40&BR40, 75Watt 100Watt 150watt BPAR(Blown Par)

DallasLightBulb.com has replacements for the 75Watt-85Watt BR30 & the “standard true 120Watt BR40 ” Reflector Bulb:

If you still need the 120Watt BR or 40 we have them as well.

If you are wanting to “GO GREEN” !!! Take alook at our CFL (compact fluorescent bulbs) :

All for now.
