Reducing the wattage of a lamp (for instance, going from a 32-watt T-8 fluorescent tube to a 28-watt T-8) will typically result in mercury reductions as well as improved energy efficiency. If it is economically feasible to retrofit a portion or all of the lamps and ballasts, those changes may make this credit more achievable. In many cases, such as this example, “relamping” can be done without “reballasting.”
