A rule issued in 2007, rolled back by the Trump administration, and updated last year by the Biden administration, effectively bans the sale of common incandescent light bulbs. The rule went fully into effect Tuesday, August 1. Here’s what you need to know. What is banned? The rule passed by President Joe Biden’s Department of Energy in April 2022 states that light bulbs must emit a minimum of 45 lumens per watt. A lumen is a measure of brightness.

The ban is only on the manufacture and sale of light bulbs that produce fewer than 45 lumens per watt – not the usage of non-conforming bulbs. Still, nearly half of US households use LED bulbs for most or all indoor lighting, according to the 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey conducted by the US Energy Information Administration.
