A bill to return legacy lighting products to store shelves faces a tough road despite passage by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee last week, says an advocate for manufacturers.一位制造商倡导者表示，尽管上周获参议院能源和自然资源委员会通过，一项旨在让传统照明产品重返商店货架的法案仍面临艰难前路。

Dive Brief:

• U.S. electrical manufacturers moved on from incandescent light bulbs when industry groups and the federal government collaborated on higher lighting efficiency standards years ago, so they oppose legislation that recently passed a Senate committee to allow incandescent bulbs back on the market, Eric Bursch of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association says. 多年前，行业组织与联邦政府合作制定更高的照明能效标准，此后美国电气制造商便已放弃白炽灯泡；因此，他们反对最近获参议院一个委员会通过、允许白炽灯泡重返市场的立法，美国电气制造商协会的 Eric Bursch 表示。
• “U.S. manufactures have invested billions of dollars in a successful transition under the current standards to LED technology,” Bursch, NEMA’s director of government affairs, told Facilities Dive. “Our members no longer make incandescent bulbs. That hasn’t been the standard for a few years.”“在现行标准下，美国制造商已投入数十亿美元，成功转向 LED 技术，”NEMA 政府事务主管 Bursch 告诉 Facilities Dive。“我们的会员不再生产白炽灯泡。白炽灯泡已有几年不是标准产品了。”
• The Liberating Incandescent Technology Act, S. 1568, introduced by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, would reverse provisions in a 2007 law signed by President George W. Bush directing the U.S. Department of Energy to require that general-use lightbulbs meet minimum lumens per watt. The law put an end to the most common types of incandescent bulbs by making the standards too high for them to meet. Specialty incandescent bulbs can still be sold. 这项 Liberating Incandescent Technology Act，S. 1568，由参议员 Mike Lee（R-Utah）提出，将推翻 George W. Bush 总统于2007年签署的一项法律中的条款，该法律指示美国能源部要求通用灯泡达到最低每瓦流明数。该法律把标准定得过高，使最常见类型的白炽灯泡无法达标，从而终结了这些灯泡。特种白炽灯泡仍可销售。

Foreign manufacturers will be the beneficiaries of the LIT Act if it passes, because they’re in the best position to produce the bulbs, Bursch said. “It would hurt U.S. manufacturers,” he said.Bursch 称，LIT 法案如果通过，外国制造商将成为受益者，因为他们最有条件生产这种灯泡。他说：“这会损害美国制造商。”

The impact on U.S. manufacturing was one of the main concerns at a hearing on the legislation Sept. 17. 对美国制造业的影响，是 Sept. 17 该立法听证会的主要关切之一。 

“If we don’t have manufacturing here, then where does it come from?” Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., said at the hearing. “Are we getting these from China? Are we opening the door to China manufacturing … while we’re trying to bring manufacturing back here?” “如果我们这里没有制造业，那这些灯泡从哪里来？”参议员 Catherine Cortez Masto（D-Nev.）在听证会上表示。“我们要从中国获取这些灯泡吗？在我们努力把制造业带回这里之际，我们是在向中国制造业敞开大门吗……？” 

Replacing legacy lighting systems with LEDs is one of the first steps facilities managers take when they retrofit their buildings to make them more efficient, Timothy Unruh, executive director of the National Association of Energy Service Companies, said in a webcast last year.用LED替换老旧照明系统是设施经理对建筑进行节能改造时最先采取的措施之一，全国能源服务公司协会执行主任Timothy Unruh去年在一次网络直播中表示。

LED lights “produce extra savings that can help cover the other projects” that buildings need, like HVAC replacement, he said.      他说，LED灯“能带来额外的节约，可帮助承担建筑所需其他项目的费用”，例如HVAC系统更换。       

Facilities managers will pay more if the return of incandescents puts more pressure on utility grids, Bursch said. “LEDs are just so much more efficient than incandescents that by putting them back out there, you’re going to add unnecessary demand to the grid,” he said. Bursch表示，如果白炽灯回归给公用电网带来更大压力，设施经理将付出更多代价。“LED的效率远比白炽灯高，让白炽灯重新进入市场，会给电网增加不必要的需求，”他说。 

The LIT Act passed the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, which Lee chairs, in a split vote, 11-9, on Sept. 30. A companion bill, H.R. 3341, has been introduced in the House, but no action has been taken. LIT法案于9月30日在Lee担任主席的参议院能源与自然资源委员会以11-9的分歧性表决结果获得通过。一项配套法案H.R. 3341已在众议院提出，但尚未采取行动。 

DOE supports the bill. “In general, we should have more efficient technologies,” Alex Fitzsimmons, associate deputy secretary at DOE, said at the Sept. 17 hearing. “But our principle has been, if that comes at the expense of regulating a product out of the market that some consumers want, then that we don’t support.” DOE支持该法案。“总体而言，我们应当拥有更高效的技术，”DOE副部长Alex Fitzsimmons在9月17日的听证会上表示。“但我们的原则是，如果为此要通过监管把部分消费者需要的产品逐出市场，那我们不会支持。” 

The close committee vote suggests the bill will face difficulty moving to a full Senate vote before the end of the year, because lawmakers prefer to move legislation on a unanimous consent basis, Bursch said. Bursch表示，委员会微弱的票差表明，该法案在年底前提交参议院全体表决将面临困难，因为议员们更倾向于以一致同意的方式推进立法。 

“The back and forth on it made it seem less likely that it could be added to packages at the end of the year,” Bursch said.“围绕此事的反复拉锯使得它在年底被并入一揽子法案的可能性似乎降低，”Bursch说。

The American Lighting Association also opposes the bill. In a joint letter with NEMA, the organization says that changes in lighting fixtures over the last several years to accommodate LED bulbs could lead to fires if incandescent bulbs are used in them. “Fixtures redesigned for this lower heat output are not rated to operate incandescent lamps and therefore could catch fire if used with those outdated lamps,” the letter stated.美国照明协会也反对该法案。在与NEMA的联名信中，该组织表示，过去几年照明灯具为适配LED灯泡所做的改变，可能会因在其中使用白炽灯泡而导致火灾。“为这种较低发热量重新设计的灯具并未被评定可使用白炽灯，因此若与这些过时灯泡搭配使用，可能会着火，”信中称。
