Title: ●Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for General Service Lamps | |
Abstract:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has proposed several clarifications to the test procedures for general service lamps (GSLs) located in appendix W, appendix BB and appendix DD. Specifically, DOE proposes to clarify that GSLs must not be tested as colored lamps, GSLs that can operate at multiple correlated color temperatures (CCTs) be tested at one specific CCT, and that lamps with additional components that do not affect light output must be turned off during testing. These proposed amendments specify that non-integrated lamps be tested with a fluorescent lamp ballast or external driver selected based on compatibility lists and availability; and provide specifications regarding the starting method, ballast factor, number of lamps and references to the relevant industry standards. This rulemaking is limited in scope and is making clarifications to the current test procedures that are required for certification of compliance with existing applicable GSL energy conservation standards. However, this rulemaking does not satisfy the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) requirement that, at least once every 7 years, DOE review the test procedures for GSLs.
