| I sent my comments into Energy Star last month "I don't think you should consider Metal Halide , Ceramic metal halide, high pressure sodium and halogen as a energy star qualified technology. The use of masking devices like motion and photo sensors only distracts from the mission of promoting the most energy efficient products. Please consider carefully the technologies of Induction and Plasma, make room for them in your consideration. If a product like CFL and florescent bulbs require disposal as a hazards material please make sure the manufactures disclose this in all marketing and packaging labeling. Thank you for your kind consideration." I don't expect this will be considered. |
