LED lamps must comply with the New Energy Star standard from April 2012

Qualified lamps that pass the ENERGY STAR standard must also pass three luminaire specifications, namely residential luminaire specifications, SSL luminaire specifications, and V1.1 luminaires.

But changes in the ENERGY STAR standard based on LED solid-state lighting (SSL) products have caused confusion in the short term, so the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a unified list of ENERGY STAR qualified lamps and plans to update it twice a month. This list will harmonize V4.2 residential lighting (RLF) specifications and SSLV1.3 luminaire specifications to meet luminaire products under the V1.1 luminaire specification.

The list of qualified ENERGY STAR qualified lamps can be sorted according to the characteristics of light source technology, color temperature and luminous efficiency. It can be downloaded from the EPA Lighting website.

The EPA plans to update the product qualification list by April 1, 2012. After this date, all manufacturers' luminaires must comply with the luminaires specified in V1.1. Old specifications such as the V4.2 Residential Lights (RLF) specification and the SSLV1.3 luminaire specifications were also discontinued in mid-September 2011.

As reported, the US Environmental Protection Agency completed the draft V1.0 luminaire specification in February 2010, classifying the luminaire into a specified directional source and a non-designated directional source, and adding a compliant method, which became effective on October 1, 2011.

Subsequently, the US Environmental Protection Agency announced in May that the effective date of the new specification will be postponed until April 2012. The agency noted that the testing process can take up to nine months and that the luminaire manufacturer will need additional time to bring the product into compliance with the new specification.

In July, the US Environmental Protection Agency issued the V1.1 luminaire specification with some changes designed to simplify the qualification process. The EPA summarized the changes in the luminaire V1.1 in the letter from the ENERGY STAR lighting partner. The EPA announced on a new list to remind the luminaire manufacturer that it is required to comply with the V1.1 specification of the product luminaire in April 2012 to meet the Energy Star.
