In order to better inform the development of efficient lighting policy and evaluate previous policies, a more complete picture of residential lighting in Australia and New Zealand is desirable. The objective of this study is to evaluate and summarise the findings of a number of recent reports and other available data sources pertaining to residential lighting in these two countries, in order to provide an insight into:

• Types, applications, designs and usage of household lighting.
• Past/present trends and future projections of lighting technologies.
• Consumer knowledge and awareness of lighting energy efficiency.
• Limitations of, and gaps in, data.
• Likely trends in energy consumption associated with lighting and opportunities for further government initiatives to derive energy savings from household lighting.
