The Australian Government agencies responsible for product energy efficiency were investigating the implementation of the Government’s intention to phase-out inefficient incandescent lamps.

The technical report aimed to communicate to stakeholders the rationale and most important issues and questions relating to the regulatory proposal and to seek stakeholder comment and industry/market data to better inform the development of the regulatory proposal.

At the time of publications, incandescent lighting and compact fluorescent lamps were not subject to minimum energy performance standards (MEPS).
