BANNING THE INCANDESCENT BULB : A POSITION STATEMENT FROM THE IALD From Australia to California and across Europe, there are proposals to ban the incandescent lamp. The recently enacted energy legislation in the United States will phase out certain types of incandescent lamps. While the IALD strongly supports the development and use of technologies, methods and appropriate regulation to minimize the energy use of lighting systems, we believe that “incandescent bans” must be carefully conceived or they are likely to be ineffective.
There are several points connected to the phasing out of incandescent lamps that should be addressed.
