ENERGY STAR® Program Requirements for
Solid State Lighting Luminaires
Eligibility Criteria – Version 1.0
Below are the product criteria for ENERGY STAR® qualified luminaires using solid-state lighting (SSL). A
product must meet all the criteria in order to be qualified as ENERGY STAR.
Scope
The ENERGY STAR criteria cover the requirements for SSL products used for general illumination, including
those with significant decorative function. If a decorative SSL product serves a significant general illumination
function, it falls within the scope of these criteria. The criteria apply to both residential and commercial
products. The criteria apply only to products designed to be connected to the electric power grid. In addition,
they do not apply to SSL products made for indication (such as traffic lights and exit signs); nor do they apply
to products exclusively intended for decoration (such as holiday lights).
General Requirements
The criteria are based upon compliance with existing lighting industry reference standards and test
procedures, as well as new or revised standards and test procedures currently being developed by lighting
industry organizations. These reference standards and test procedures are listed in the appendix.
The following general requirements apply to both Categories A and B. Additional requirements for correlated
color temperature (CCT), luminaire efficacy, zonal lumen density, and minimum light output are listed under
Categories A and B below.
Comment on all criteria: 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 will monitor SSL developments and, at appropriate intervals,
revise the criteria. DOE is sensitive to concerns over frequent revisions and stranded product.
Given the early stage of SSL technology development with respect to its application to general
illumination, the criteria establish near-term requirements and future performance targets. The
near-term requirements (Category A) are for listed lighting application products achieving
energy performance equivalent or better than fluorescent light sources used in the same
applications. The long-term targets (Category B) are intended to indicate, well in advance,
DOE’s intent to substantially raise required efficacy to the much higher performance levels
projected to be achievable in approximately three years.
Comment on scope clarification: The Scope section was modified to address comments
made by fixture manufacturers concerning whether these criteria applied to decorative
luminaires. Newly inserted language makes clear the criteria are intended to include decorative
luminaires, so long as those luminaires provide a significant general illumination function.
However, those luminaires must meet the same performance requirements as non-decorative
luminaires. Language was also added to clarify that the criteria apply only to products intended
to be connected to the power grid, and do not apply to indication-type products.

All Luminaires
Luminaire Requirements:
The luminaire must have one of the following designated CCTs and fall
within the 7-step chromaticity quadrangles as defined in the Appendix.
Nominal CCT(1) CCT (K)
2700 K 2725 ± 145
3000 K 3045 ± 175
3500 K 3465 ± 245
4000 K 3985 ± 275
4500 K 4503 ± 243
5000 K 5028 ± 283
5700 K 5665 ± 355
Correlated Color Temperature
(CCT)
6500 K 6530 ± 510
Color Spatial Uniformity The variation of chromaticity in different directions (i.e., with a change in
viewing angle) shall be within 0.004 on the CIE 1976 (u’,v’) diagram.
Comment on chromaticity requirements: The chromaticity requirements shown below have
been proposed by the ANSI C78 Working Group. They are a modification of existing
fluorescent lamp standards intended to reflect the current (and near future) state of SSL
technology and color binning capabilities. LEDs are binned for chromaticity in the
manufacturing process. These bins, when superimposed on the CIE 1931 Chromaticity
Diagram, take the form of quadrangles, as opposed to ellipses. Six of the eight quadrangles
defined below largely correspond to and overlap with the ANSI 7-step MacAdam ellipses
(consistent with the current ENERGY STAR lighting criteria), but include additional space in the
corners. The proposed quadrangles therefore have the same nominal CCTs as fluorescent
lamps. The two additional nominal CCTs, 4500 K and 5700 K, provide color definition for LEDs
that would not otherwise be captured by the current six ANSI defined CCTs.
Comment on changes to chromaticity requirements: The prior draft criteria referenced a
flexible color option included in the draft ANSI chromaticity specification. The flexible color
option has been removed from this draft for the following reasons: First, DOE believes the
increase from the six CCTs currently used in the ENERGY STAR program to eight will already
challenge a lighting industry struggling to communicate color to end users. Including a variable
CCT will simply allow too many options. And second, DOE believes the best path forward for
the emerging SSL industry is to be as consistent as possible with existing lighting paradigms.
Comment on addition of off-state power requirement: Some SSL luminaires tested by DOE
draw power in the off-state. These "vampire" loads, while relatively small, have a cumulative
impact over time resulting in a significant reduction in energy efficiency. The problem lies with
the use of power supplies located upstream from the on/off switch that draw power even though
the luminaire is not energized. DOE therefore has prohibited off-state power except in
instances where occupancy or photo-controls are incorporated into the luminaire.

Color Maintenance The change of chromaticity over the lifetime of the product shall be within
0.007 on the CIE 1976 (u’,v’) diagram.
Color Rendering Index (CRI) Indoor luminaires shall have a minimum CRI of 75.
Off-state Power Luminaires shall not draw power in the off state.
Exception: Luminaires with integral occupancy, motion or photo-
controls are exempt from this requirement.
Warranty A warranty must be provided for luminaires, covering repair or
replacement of defective electrical parts (including light source and
drivers) for a minimum of three (3) years from the date of purchase. For
residential products, the written warranty must be included with the
luminaire packaging at the time of shipment.
Thermal Management Luminaire manufacturers shall adhere to device manufacturer guidelines,
certification programs, and test procedures for thermal management.
(1) Six of the eight allowed nominal CCTs correspond to those in the fluorescent lamp specification: 2700 K,
3000 K, 3500 K, 4100 K, 5000 K, and 6500 K.
Device/Arrays
Device/Array Requirements
Lumen Depreciation of LED
Light Sources (L70)
The device shall have average rated lumen maintenance of at least 70%
of initial device lumens at 35,000 hours.
Outdoor Luminaires
Outdoor Luminaire Requirements
Residential Automatic Daylight
Control
Residential luminaires designed for attaching to buildings and whose
power consumption is greater than 13 watts must contain an integral
photo-sensor that automatically prevents operation during daylight hours.
In addition, the control must automatically reactivate within 24 hours of a
manual override or test operation.
Drivers
Driver Requirements
Power Factor ≥ 0.70 (Residential)
≥ 0.90 (Commercial)
Minimum Operating
Temperature
Driver shall have a minimum operating temperature of -20°C or below.
Comment on power factor changes: The required power factor was reduced from 0.9 to 0.7
for residential luminaires in response to comments about the potential driver cost impacts of
requiring 0.9 for residential luminaires. DOE product testing of residential luminaires and
discussions with manufacturers indicates 0.7 is readily achievable in residential products.

Temperature During Normal
Operation Inside Luminaire(s)
Not to exceed the driver manufacturer maximum recommended
driver/driver case temperature during in-situ operation.
Note: This performance characteristic is separate and distinct from
thermal requirements established by UL, which governs safety rather
than longevity of the driver. All qualified luminaires are expected to meet
this requirement, including linear, suspended, close-to-ceiling, IC, ICAT
and Non-IC recessed canisters, etc. as well as those luminaires that
may be exempt from UL1598.
Electromagnetic and Radio
Frequency Interference
• Drivers designated by the manufacturer for residential applications
must meet FCC requirements for consumer use (FCC 47 CFR Part
15 Consumer Emission Limits).
• Drivers designated by the manufacturer for commercial applications
must meet FCC requirements for non-consumer use (FCC 47 CFR
Part 15 Non- consumer Emission Limits).
Noise Driver shall have a Class A sound rating.
Transient Protection Driver shall comply with IEEE C.62.41-1991, Class A operation. The line
transient shall consist of seven strikes of a 100 kHz ring wave, 2.5 kV
level, for both common mode and differential mode.

Category A: Near-term Applications
Comment on luminaire efficacy: The ENERGY STAR criteria for SSL Luminaires use
Luminaire Efficacy to establish performance as defined below:
Power Input Luminaire
effects) thermal and efficiency fixture (includes Output Light Luminaire
Efficacy Luminaire =
The ENERGY STAR criteria for non-SSL residential light fixtures (commonly referred to as
RLF) use system efficacy defined as the light output of the lamp-ballast system divided by the
input power measured in a 25°C environment. Established test procedures for fluorescent
sources support this approach. However, the program requirements in this document are
based upon luminaire efficacy, instead of system efficacy for the following reasons:
• Accurate measurement of the LED light source separate from the fixture is often not
possible. LEDs typically are integrated into the fixture and not readily removable
without altering the performance of the light source.
• LED performance is significantly affected by elevated temperature. LED devices
generate heat that is typically removed by an external heat sink, which may be
designed into the luminaire itself. Separating the light source from its heat sink will
significantly impact test results. There are no standards or test procedures to measure
system efficacy of LEDs. However, standards organizations are developing a test
procedure for photometric measurement of LED luminaires. This test procedure is
currently in draft form and scheduled to be final in mid-2007.
• Luminaire efficacy provides more realistic energy efficiency information because it
accounts for driver, thermal, and fixture losses, thus better meeting the needs of buyers
who seek the most light output for the least energy input.

Comment on methodology for establishing luminaire efficacy of near-term applications:
Determination of the luminaire efficacy thresholds for applications stems from an analysis of the
currently available fluorescent products in the market, IESNA design guidelines, photometric
modeling and the current performance characteristics of commercial LEDs. The selection of
Category A applications is primarily based on the following parameters:
• Directed light applications
• Source relatively close to illuminated surface
• Relatively modest illuminance requirements
• Applications in which typical fixture efficiency (with traditional light sources) is 60% or
lower
Minimum luminaire efficacy levels are established for each application. They are intended to
assure approved luminaires perform at least as well as typical luminaires using fluorescent light
sources. To establish these efficacy requirements, the following assumptions were made about
the fluorescent luminaires against which they were benchmarked.
Assumptions for Fluorescent Luminaire Benchmarks
Application System Efficacy (lm/W)† Fixture Efficiency
Under-cabinet kitchen 58.8 40%
Under-cabinet shelf-mounted 58.8 50%
Portable desk/task 58.8 50%
Recessed downlights 58.8 60%
Outdoor porch 58.8 40%
Outdoor step 50.0 40%
Outdoor path 50.0 50%
† The ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1 Lighting sub-committee consensus for typical pin-based CFL system efficacy is
58.8 lm/W. The efficacy of applications that typically use lower wattage CFLs was reduced to 50.0 lm/W
reflecting the reduced efficacy of these systems.
Comment on dropping CRI adjustment factor: DOE dropped the use of an adjustment factor
in our methodology for establishing Category A efficacy requirements. The adjustment factor
had the effect of increasing efficacy requirements for products whose required CRI fell below
80.
Comment on change in recessed downlight efficacy: DOE increased the assumed fixture
efficiency from 50 to 60%. While 50% fixture efficiency for pin-base CFL fixtures is actually
more typical, we adjusted this number upward to reflect the higher fixture efficiencies achieved
when reflector CFLs are used in recessed downlights. The use of higher assumed fixture
efficiency increased the required luminaire efficacy for residential products from 29 lm/W to 35
lm/W, and from 33 to 35 lm/W for commercial products. (The change in the commercial
downlight required efficacy was also affected by dropping the CRI adjustment factor, as
explained in the comment above.)
