DOE ENERGY STARŪ Program for Solid-State Lighting |
 Jan 09, 2007 - The ENERGY STAR label is a highly valued and widely recognized mark of energy efficiency that helps guide the American public to select cost-effective, energy-efficient products. As part of DOE’s national strategy to accelerate market introduction of high efficiency SSL products, the Department is leading ENERGY STAR management, specification development, and partner relations for SSL devices used for general illumination, including: - Residential, commercial, industrial, and outdoor lighting SSL applications of all types
- Innovative SSL systems applications of all types (includes "free-form" SSL systems, and those incorporated into furniture, buildings, and equipment)
The DOE ENERGY STAR strategy for SSL general illumination products establishes near-term and long-term requirements. The near-term transitional criteria apply to niche application products that are at least as efficient as fluorescent light sources. The long-term criteria are for future products that are far more efficient. The rapid pace of SSL performance improvements will require DOE to periodically review and amend the criteria to parallel technological advances and ensure the criteria remain up-to-date. DOE Releases Draft ENERGY STAR Requirements for SSL Luminaires
The Department has released draft ENERGY STAR Requirements for Solid-State Lighting Luminaires intended for general illumination. The draft requirements are posted below for public review and comment. All comments should be forwarded by January 19, 2007, to Richard Karney, DOE ENERGY STAR Product Manager, at
