[Milsurplus] LED Lighting and EMI

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

>>
I remember legislation stating bulbs labeled a certain Wattage must become 
more efficient, since they couldn't be, they were just labeled with a 
different Wattage to get by this BS, for example, 100 is now 97, 60 is 54, 
et cetera,>>

I'd like to know more about that.

"Yes. Under a law pushed through the House and Senate as part of 
an Energy Bill. We will be forced to by CFL's or LED's lights. Any old 
stock light bulbs can be sold, but no new stocks are being made." 
 
When did this happen? 
 
Anyone have a reference?

et cetera, make them in China where the legislation didn't apply, et cetera.  
Pointless as light is lumens, not Watts of power consumed...
