Bulb Replacement Improving Government with High-efficiency Technology Act or the BRIGHT Act This bill expands requirements relating to the procurement and use of energy-efficient lighting in federal buildings. Under current law, public buildings that are constructed or managed by the General Services Administration (GSA) must be equipped with energy-efficient light bulbs and fixtures.

The bill also specifically establishes requirements relating to the procurement of such lighting systems and modifies other requirements accordingly. The bill also requires the GSA to provide information to federal, state, local, and tribal entities about procuring and using such lighting systems in furtherance of governmental efficiency.
