US Department of Energy released integral LED lamp test requirements

Recently, the US Department of Energy （DOE） issued a Federal Register on integral LED lamp （integrated LED lamp） testing program. Requirements entering the United States must be an integral LED lamp according to the requirements of this test program in a qualified laboratory for related tests to obtain the total flux, input power, luminous efficiency, correlated color temperature, color rendering index, power factor, and standby life power and other data.

The regulations August 1, 2016 entered into force December 28, 2016 enforcement. According to the regulations, the need to test the above parameters are in accordance with the LM-79, LM-84, TM-28 standard and IEC6 2301 to.

In addition, from August 1, 2016, DOE management and control LED Lighting Facts labels （colored label） will suspend the acceptance of all of the new alternative Lamps submitted since the new integrated LED Lamps the DOE test procedure: DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 10 CFR Parts 429 and 430 [Docket No.EERE-2011-BT-TP-0071] on August 1, 2016 came into effect. Furthermore, DOE for non-integrated LEDL amps upcoming official release of the non-integrated LED Lamps testing procedures.

Before August 1, 2016, filed listing applications will continue processing. Column name has been obtained for the current DOE LED Lighting Facts goods remain in the network database in. LED Lighting Facts Working Group will be the latest DOE regulations for further investigation and research, once the final decision will immediately inform all partners.

DOE LED Lighting Facts LED lamps will continue to receive and submit retrofit kit.

DLC has also revised its requirements on LED Lighting Facts, from August 1, 2016 start, will no longer be required to submit LM-79 data to bare bulb LED Lighting Facts. Please note that the DLC will continue to accept applications for accreditation lamp. This change does not affect the DLC on other categories of products LED Lighting Facts requirements.
