-King County Mercury Research [Quote: The U.S. Department of Energy, the lighting industry, and NGOs developed a Lighting Technology Roadmap called Vision 2020 to establish priorities for the lighting industry for the next 20 years. This includes a 3 – 10 year plan to develop “toxic-free” lamps and replace mercury with xenon in metal halide lamps. The Department of Energy envisions mercury-free fluorescent lamps by 2020 (US Department of Energy, 1999). ] -Xenon and Krypton-Based Compact Flourescent Lamps |
