AI summary Amendment 10 to the Regulations aimed to phase in lighting standards starting in 2012 to improve efficiency and reduce reliance on incandescent bulbs. Amendment 12 delayed the implementation to 2014 to allow more time for public communication, technological advancements, and addressing concerns related to CFLs.
Amendment 12B dealt with three issues: - › to provide Canadian customers with more lighting options, specifically a bulb which closely resembles and performs like a traditional incandescent bulb; - › to reduce the regulatory compliance bur...
AI summary Amendment 12B addresses three issues: providing more lighting options resembling traditional incandescent bulbs, reducing regulatory compliance burdens, and aligning with American standards where feasible. The phase-out of incandescent bulbs was implemented in two stages, with 175 watt bulbs eliminated in 2014 and 60 and 40 watt bulbs phased out by the end of 2014. The new regulation introduces lighting efficiency similar to halogen incandescent bulbs.
