  title = {A Light Diet for a Giant Appetite: an Assessment of China{\textquoteright}s Fluorescent Lamp Standard},
  abstract = {<p>Lighting has been one of the fastest growing electric end uses in China over the last 20 years, with an average annual growth rate of 14\%. Fluorescent lighting provides a significant portion of China{\textquoteright}s lighting needs. In 1998, China produced 680 million fluorescent lamps, of which 420 million were linear fluorescent lamps of various diameters (T8{\textendash}T12). There are substantial variations both in energy efficiency and lighting performance among locally produced fluorescent lamps. Such variations present a perfect opportunity for policy intervention through energy efficiency standards to promote the adoption of more efficient fluorescent lamps in China. This paper analyzes China{\textquoteright}s 2003 minimum efficiency standard for linear fluorescent lamps and presents an assessment of its likely impacts on China{\textquoteright}s lighting energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.</p>},
