Canada revised light bulb use minimum standards

Canadian authorities proposed a revised minimum performance standard for everyday use of light bulbs (ie, replacement bulbs for 40, 60, 75, and 100W) to allow the commercialization of a halogen incandescent bulb that can already be sold in the US market . According to the standard issued in 2008, this special light bulb is not allowed to be sold. For 75W and 100W bulbs, the implementation date of the standard is January 1, 2014. For 40W and 60W bulbs, the implementation date of the standard is December 31, 2014.
In fact, the amendment will allow the use of incandescent light bulbs that are compliant with US standards, as well as commonly used improved-spectrum incandescent light bulbs in Canada because they can exhibit a particular color. U.S. standards require that the universal standard spectral incandescent light bulb between 310 and 749 has an energy consumption of no more than 29W; the luminous flux is between 750 and 1049, and the energy consumption should not exceed 43W. The effective date of this requirement is January 1, 2014. In addition, the energy consumption of light bulbs with luminous flux between 1050 and 1489 cannot exceed 53 W. The effective date of this requirement is January 1, 2013, and the energy consumption between 1490 and 2600 luminous flux cannot exceed 72 W. The effective date of this requirement is For January 1, 2012. The U.S. standard for improved spectral incandescent lamps is a bulb with a maximum 72W light flux between 1118 and 1950, a 53W bulb light flux between 788 and 1117, and an effective date of January 1, 2014. The 43W bulb has a luminous flux between 563 and 787, and the 29W bulb has a luminous flux between 232 and 562.
