Energy Star Light Fixtures
That little label above has had a tremendous impact on the environment since it first appeared in 1992. ENERGY STAR is the synergistic result of the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, conceived out of a need make energy-efficient appliances widely available to consumers.
In the United States, electric power plants are the largest industrial source of carbon dioxide emissions, a key factor in acid rain and global warming issues. A higher demand for electricity means more fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) are burned by plants to generate power, contributing to heat-trapping smog in the air. Using an Energy Star product means less electricity consumption, so a consumer benefits the environment and their checkbook. Purchasing ENERGY STAR appliances is one of the easiest and most effective ways to have an immediate impact on our environment. You'll find functional and attractive ENERGY STAR products in our Lighting sites.
