66261.50), all fluorescent lamps, compact fluorescent lamps, metal halide
lamps, high and low pressure sodium lamps, and mercury vapor lamps are

CALIFORNIA'S TITLE 24:
In October of 2005 the California Energy Commission set new residential and commercial building codes that significantly changed the way lighting is implemented in homes and hotels.
Permlight's general illumination products have been tested by the California Lighting Technology Center and have been shown to be in excess of 40 lumens per watt (LPW). Title 24 states that any luminaire that has an input wattage marked on a permanently installed UL label that is less than 15 watts must be greater than 40LPW to be considered high efficacy
