For more than 25 years, the ENERGY STAR label has helped foster widespread adoption of affordable, effective and efficient lighting options for consumers.

More than 3 billion ENERGY STAR certified light bulbs have been sold in Canada and the USA since the label's introduction on 1997. And now, these light bulbs are the standard, using the latest in LED technology, they all save energy.

In recognition of this progress and because it is no longer possible to purchase inefficient light bulbs for the majority of household applications, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has ended the ENERGY STAR program for light bulbs and the most common light fixtures.

You may continue to see products packaged with the ENERGY STAR logo on store shelves in early 2025 because the EPA is allowing manufacturers to sell through their remaining stock and minimize waste.
