 To amend title 40, United States Code, to require the Administrator of 
   General Services to procure the most life-cycle cost effective and 
    energy efficient lighting products and to issue guidance on the 
efficiency, effectiveness, and economy of those products, and for other 
                                purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Bulb Replacement Improving 
Government with High-efficiency Technology Act'' or the ``BRIGHT Act''.
SEC. 2. GUIDANCE.
    Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
Administrator of General Services shall--
        (1) issue guidance to Federal agencies for the procurement and 
    use of the most life-cycle cost effective and energy efficient 
    lighting systems (as determined in accordance with section 3313 of 
    title 40, United States Code) to increase the efficiency, 
    effectiveness, and economy of the Federal Government; and
        (2) publish on the internet or otherwise make available to 
    State, local, and Tribal entities information on ways to improve 
    efficiency, effectiveness, and economy by procuring and using the 
    most life-cycle cost effective and energy efficient lighting 
    systems (as determined in accordance with section 3313 of title 40, 
    United States Code).
SEC. 3. PROCUREMENT OF LIFE-CYCLE COST EFFECTIVE AND ENERGY EFFICIENT 
LIGHTING SYSTEMS.
    (a) In General.--Section 3313 of title 40, United States Code, is 
amended--

            ``(A) procure the most life-cycle cost effective and energy 
        efficient lighting systems; and
            ``(B) ensure that procurements after the date of enactment 
        of the BRIGHT Act of lighting systems or the individual 
        components of lighting systems maximize life-cycle cost 
        effectiveness and energy efficiency.
        ``(2) Use.--Each public building constructed, altered, 
    acquired, or leased by the Administrator shall be equipped, to the 
    maximum extent practicable as determined by the Administrator, with

    ``(c) Maintenance of Public Buildings.--Each individual component 
of a lighting system, including a lamp or fixture, that is replaced by 
the Administrator in the normal course of maintenance of public 
buildings shall be replaced, to the maximum extent practicable, with

    ``(d) Considerations.--
        ``(1) Contracting options.--In carrying out this section, the 
    Administrator shall consider appropriate contracting options for 
    the procurement of the most life-cycle cost effective and energy 
    efficient lighting systems.
