The traditional incandescent lamps would be forbidden in Mexico

　　Department of Energy in Mexico has released a rule , initially announced in December 2010 Mexican moratorium ban 40 and 60 -watt incandescent effective date from December 31, 2013 extended to December 31, 2014 . The ban applies to 40 watts or 60 watts of power is less than 17.44 lm / w ( lm / W ) or 14 lm / w ( using the modified spectral lamp is 13.09 lm / w or 14 lm / w) of the lamp . After more time can be postponed to the transition to the consumer compact fluorescent (CFLs) , and other more expensive types of lighting than CFLs .

　　In Mexico, from December 31, 2011 banned the sale of 100 watts or more general-purpose incandescent lamps , and energy efficiency is lower than 20.69 lm / w ( or using a modified spectral 15.53 lm / w) of the bulb. Similarly, 75 watts or more , energy efficiency is lower than 19.81 lm / w ( using a modified spectral 14.86 lm / w bulb ) incandescent from December 31, 2012 banned.

　　Recent legislation will be the second phase ( more stringent ) incandescent, halogen and self-ballasted CFLs minimum energy efficiency standards implementation date postponed from December 2014 to January 1, 2019 , the third phase ( increasingly stringent ) these MEPS product implementation date postponed from December 2015 to January 1, 2020 .

　　LED lamps DC drive, ultra-low power consumption ( single tube 0.03-0.06 W ) electro-optical power conversion close to 100% , the same lighting effects than traditional energy sources more than 80%. And LED lamps light substantially 100lm / w, and therefore more energy saving LED lamps , with the implementation of the new requirements , LED lamps lit Mexico will trend.
