Where are all these bulbs made?
Myth #3: The U.S. will lose manufacturing jobs.
New jobs are being created. Lighting standards are driving innovation in the United States and creating manufacturing jobs when we most need them.
Sylvania has retooled a plant in Pennsylvania to make the new, efficient incandescents. Philips in California, Cree in North Carolina, and Lighting Science Group in Florida are creating jobs to produce LEDs and components. Though GE did close a plant in Virginia last year, it also announced a $60 million expansion of a linear fluorescent lighting factory in Ohio. TCP is planning to build a new factory in Ohio to meet the increased demand for CFLs.
