“…First, energy efficiency is only the most critical performance issue for incandescent bulbs. Other technologies had their own problems, for example flickering and modulation (fluorescent lighting) (Bruxdrett, Grifft, and Boyce 1973, Wilkins and Clark 1990, Veitch and McColl 1995, Berman et al 1997) and color rendering (LEDs) (Sándor and Schanda 2006, Szabó, Bodrogi, and Schanda 2009, Pousset, Rougié, and Razet 2010, Alvi et al 2011, Smet et al 2012). Second, improved energy efficiency was not what the consumers asked for; the pressure to increase energy efficiency instead came mainly from policy in the form of investments in research of more efficient lighting technologies, new regulations (e.g.…”
