The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) contracted with Apex Analytics and DNV to conduct the 16th Northwest Residential Lighting Market Analysis as part of its long-term monitoring and tracking (LTMT) of the residential lighting market. As in previous studies, Apex Analytics and DNV collected and analyzed store shelf and point-of-sale data to update market parameters including lamp sales mix and post-incentive per lamp cost.
Key findings of the 2020 study include:
- The market continued to shift toward LEDs, which made up 67% of all 2020 Northwest lamp sales;
- Post-incentive prices for general purpose LEDs increased slightly in 2020, potentially because fewer utilities offered incentives;
- Among general purpose LEDs, the share of ENERGY STAR® LEDs declined again to 51% but shares increased for other applications.
