R-CFL Project Purpose
The purpose of this project is to increase the availability and use of highly energy-efficient reflector compact fluorescent lamps (R-CFLs) for use in insulated ceiling rated airtight (ICAT) fixtures. Specifically, the procurement calls for R-CFLs that are:
- Short enough to fit into recessed downlight fixtures
- Deliver adequate light with a beam spread that is similar to equivalent wide flood-type incandescent R-lamps
- Maintain light output levels and life span in high-temperature environment
- ENERGYSTAR compliant
- Available at an affordable price
