The "Liberating Incandescent Technology Act of 2025," also known as the LIT Act of 2025 , aims to eliminate federal energy conservation standards for general service lamps. This legislation seeks to reverse existing regulations that mandate higher energy efficiency for common light bulbs, thereby allowing for the continued production and sale of less efficient lighting technologies. To achieve this, the bill amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) by striking provisions that designate general service lamps as covered products and removing the established energy conservation standards for these lamps, specifically subsection (i) from Section 325. It also includes numerous conforming amendments to other sections of EPCA to reflect these changes. Crucially, the legislation explicitly nullifies three specific rules issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) in 2022 and 2024, which established or updated energy conservation standards and definitions for general service lamps, declaring them to have "no force or effect."
