DLC Releases Draft Technical Requirements for PL Replacement Lamps
On Jun 16, 2016, DLC released the Draft Technical Requirements for "Pin-Base LED PL Replacement Lamps" and intended to solicit external opinions about the Draft, especially the feedback on performance, claimed capacity and compatibility. The deadline for solicitation of opinions is Jul 25, 2016.
Standard-Tech will keep an eye on the new trend of DLC and report clients' opinions to DLC.
Scope
DLC will accept QPL applications for 4-pin(G24q/GX24q) replacement lamps. At this time, only lamps that are intended to operate using the existing CFL ballast ("Type A" lamps) are included.
The follwing products remain under consideration for future development:
-- Type B lamps, designed to operate directly using line voltage ;
-- Type C products, which have the remote/non-integral driver;
-- Products with other bases, including 2-pin products.
Required Tests and Reports
-- For testing purposes, DLC specifies typical "reference" luminaire housing for lamp products to be tested in, as well as "reference" ballasts to be tested on.
-- Horizontally-mounted products must be tested two-lamps to a downlight,in an appropriate two-lamp reference downlight.
-- Vertically-mounted products must be tested one-lamp to a downlight, in an appropriate one-lamp reference downlight.
