(2) STANDARDS FOR LIGHTING EQUIPMENT. — (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), no fluorescent lamp ballast or luminaire manufactured on or after January 1, 1989, shall either have a ballast efficiency factor, or contain a ballast with a ballast efficiency factor, less than the following applicable values: Ballasts Designed for the Operation of: Nominal Input Voltage Total Nominal Lamp Watts Ballast Efficiency Factor One F40T12 lamp 120 277 40 40 1.805 1.805 Two F40T12 lamps 120 277 80 80 1.060 1.050 Two F96T12 lamps 120 277 150 150 0.570 0.570 (b) The standards described in paragraph (a) do not apply to the following types of fluorescent lamp ballasts: 1. Those which have a dimming capability. 2. Those intended for use in ambient temperatures of 0 °F or less. 3. Those with a power factor of less than 0.60.
(3) STANDARDS FOR SHOWERHEADS. — (a) The initial minimum standards for showerheads manufactured on or after January 1, 1988, shall require the limiting of maximum water discharge to 3.00 gallons per minute when tested according to ANSI A112.18.1M-1979. (b) Showerheads manufactured for use in safety spray installations shall be exempt.
(4) STANDARDS FOR OTHER COVERED PRODUCTS. — (a) The department may prescribe an energy conservation standard for any type or class of covered products of a type specified in s. 553.957, except where precluded by federal law, if the department determines that: 1. The average per occupancy energy use within this state resulting from performance of products of such type or class exceeded 80 kilowatt hours or its Btu equivalent for any 12 calendar-month period ending before such determination; and 2. Substantial improvement in the energy efficiency of products of such type or class is technologically feasible. (b) The department may prescribe an energy conservation testing and rating standard for any type or class of covered products of a type specified in s. 553.957 if the department determines that the certifications to the state and uniform product labeling required by this part will improve the enforceability of the code. (c) Any new or amended standard for covered products of a type specified in s. 553.957(1)(d) shall not apply to products manufactured within 2 years after the publication of a final rule establishing such standard.
