​Linear Fluorescent Lamp Bans

California​

“Linear fluorescent lamp" means a low-pressure, mercury-containing, electric-discharge light source in which a fluorescent coating transforms some of the ultraviolet energy generated by the mercury discharge into visible light, and includes all of the following characteristics:

  • Two bases (end caps) of any type, including, but not limited to, single-pin, two-pin, and recessed double contact.

  • Light emission between a correlated color temperature of 1700K and 24000K and a Duv of +0.024 and -0.024 in the CIE CAM02-UCS.

  • All tube diameters, including, but not limited to, T5, T8, T10, and T12.

  • All tube lengths from 0.5 to 8.0 feet, inclusive.

  • All lamp shapes, including, but not limited to, linear, U-bend, and circular.
