Here's a good summary of the section of the legislation they decided not to enforce:
SEC. 322. INCANDESCENT REFLECTOR LAMP EFFICIENCY STANDARDS
Do you know of any 2500 lumen LED replacements that fit a standard floodlight fixture?you righties are knee-jerk retrogrades.
I don't own any LED street lights.

LED Street Lighting Trial in 12 of World’s Largest Cities Shows Up to 85% Energy SavingsDo you know of any 2500 lumen LED replacements that fit a standard floodlight fixture?
Key findings include:
Surveys in Kolkata, London, Sydney and Toronto indicated that between 68% to 90% of respondents endorsed LEDs city-wide rollout. Benefits highlighted included improved safety and visibility.
LED lighting trialed lifespan ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 hours indicating a high return on investment.
LED failure rate over 6,000 hours is around 1%.
The Climate Group and Philips are calling for an international low carbon lighting standard to be created and implemented ensuring that citizens worldwide have access to energy efficient outdoor lighting.

Now if they'd only design, in traffic lights, the driver electronics to be as reliable as the LEDs.

LOL...
I ask about floodlights, which is the part of the legislation they decided not to enforce, and you bring up street lights?
Do you know the difference?
Yep....
I'm really going to put a streetlight by my gated fence.
Serous question.
What LED lamp will fit in my floodlight fixture and supply the same illumination. A streetlamp is not compatible. When you find one compact enough, how much will it cost me?
Flood lights aren't a big part, or any part, of my life, so GFY.
LED illumination is coming on big, you retrograde troglodyte.
your retrograde position: "It's not good (enough) for me now, so it", showing us the way forward.
I have no problem with LED lighting. I only have incandescent in my flashlights and automobile. In my home, I have Florescent and LED.Flood lights aren't a big part, or any part, of my life, so GFY.

The regulation the decided not to enforce is a very small portion of the products. Almost exclusively Flood Lighting. I agree with the decision. Though I am still opposed to the authoritarian nature of out government mandates, I am in agreement with using more efficient lighting.
Again... Flood Lights are different.
I believe it takes about $600 to purchase a 2500 lumen LED floodlight, and it will not fit in a standard fixture. That means you have the added cost to pay electricians to change your fixtures around a barn, commercial building, house, etc.
that.
Speaking of kick ass LED lighting:
How about controlling your lights from your phone?

These kinds of apps usually require a monthly subscription to the suppliers server (accessed by their app). and typically $1/day, to save how much electricity?
the ripoff enslaving cellphone cartel could get into this business with if they let your cellphone call your in-house cell station that would call your equipment.
All this is $1000s to set up and $100/s year forever in subscription.
This requires a $120 wireless base module, no subscription and the app is free.
Stop stalking me!
good for when you're away from home too, rotate lights on.
You can design lighting macros for lighting "scenes". Sounds kinda cool.
You should probably educate yourself a little before you go all bruce banner on a benign informational post by another member. It's literally not that hard to check out his claim.
awesome. i could completely with the family!
Why start now?
My first thought exactly.
What's weird is they have a wireless chip in the socket of each bulb. That's pretty cool but, ing magnets! How do they work?
LOL! that and you can't explain the tides!
I need an app on my phone where I clap and the lights come on.
Now this is service...
Pretty cool, but 2700K is very warm/yellow, white sunlight being about 5780
Just bought a CFL bulb on the Dollar Tree this weekend... those things have come down in price...
