The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) is a federal law that was passed on December 19, 2007 (Public Law 110-140) to move the United States toward greater energy independence and security, to increase the production of clean renewable fuels, while furthering strategies to improve energy performance for the changing global climate landscape. A section of this bill specifically mandates the regulation of metal halide ballast efficiencies from 150W-500W as used in both indoor and outdoor luminaires. This applies to both manufactured and imported products for sale in the United States on or after January 1, 2009. Wide-Lite has been committed to energy conservation since being founded in 1954 and is a continued supporter of both federal and state legislation. All applicable products manufactured and imported for sale in the U.S. after January 1, 2009, will be in 100% compliance with EISA requirements.
