New technology has to equal or exceed the required lumens for each replacement application. We always get the tail wagging the dog. This new remote phophor technology is exciting. Go Phillips.

The incentive is to use higher wattages of fluorescent sources to build up wattage insted of much lower LED sources. We need a better credet system to encourage LED use and get away from the poisonous CFL's which use more energy to be removed from the waste stream than they saved over their life as a light source. We need advocates for the correct use of LED's and better credits for same. From David Steinitz, Owner of F.I.R.E./L.T.D. Los Angeles, CA.

We would be happy to participate in the field testing. If you choose not to include us I would appreciate iot if we could get some samples for the class. I am also wondering if these lamps are dimmable? Thank you! David Robinson Associate Professor, LATTC I have developed a sustainable lighting class for Los Angeles Trade-Technical College.
