Warning: New Canadian Standard for Light Bulbs

The Government of Canada has registered a revision to the current minimum energy performance standards for light bulbs which came into effect on January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014. The revision aligns with lighting standards currently in effect in the US and provide Canadians with more lighting options; specifically, a mercury-free halogen bulb that closely resembles and performs like a traditional incandescent bulb.
