摘要：We discuss the main implications of the implementation of projects for the mass change from incandescent light bulbs to fluorescent lamps. The most relevant issues related to this implementation include the positive and negative impacts on the environment, the distribution systems and consumers. Also we describe the experience of some countries regarding product labelling. From a general perspective, this paper comments on the Venezuelan experience in this type of projects and compares them with other Latin American countries.
