Lighting Facts Label

There is a new tool out to help choose quality LED lighting products, the Lighting Facts Label. Similar to a nutrition label, the Lighting Facts Label provides a summary of performance data for LED lighting products. Lighting manufacturers who take the SSL (Solid State Lighting) Quality Advocates pledge agree to use the label to disclose performance results in key areas – lumens, efficacy, watts, correlated color temperature (CCT) and color rendering index (CRI) – as measured by the new industry standard for testing photometric performance, IES LM-79-2008. There is a list of 160 LED products that qualify to use the Lighting Facts label available at the DOE website.
