DESCRIPTION
Solid-State Lighting (using LEDs) presents both a risk and an opportunity for utility incentives programs. While LEDs are rapidly becoming a feasible technology for achieving maximum lighting efficiency, high costs and uncertain performance have hampered the adoption of LED measures into lighting incentives programs. This webinar features presentations from the DesignLights Consortium, the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnership's national program that takes much of the guesswork out of identifying quality LED products, and by the Lighting Facts program of US DOE, highlighting their Energy Efficiency Partner Resource that will allow Energy Efficiency Partners to list LED lighting incentive programs in association with products from the Lighting Facts web site. An overview of the resource is provided along with an online demonstration. Viewers also receive information on the Product Snapshot, which was developed to help energy efficiency partners navigate the rapidly changing lighting market, including upcoming standards and labeling requirements, and the impact of these changes on LED replacement lamps. The FTC Lighting Facts label will be mandatory starting January 1, 2012 and we will review the label requirements and explain how the FTC Lighting Facts label relates to the DOE Lighting Facts label.

THE NEED FOR DLC• Commercial-grade integral LED luminaires
– Enter the market (2008)
– Suddenly Become the New Next Big Thing!
3
THE NEED FOR DLC
• Are manufacturer claims valid?
• Is the product going to last?
• How comparable is the product to its conventional
counterpart in terms of
– Light output?
– Color?
– Light distribution?
4
THE NEED FOR DLC
• Energy Efficiency Program Administrators were
being urged to offer incentives for LED products
• They needed a way to distinguish quality, energy
efficient products from the rest
5
DLC TODAY
• Qualified Products List for commercial-grade integral
LED luminaires
• Funded by utilities, regional EE organizations, and
Canadian Federal Department of Energy
• NEEP has engaged D&R International as Project
Manager of the DLC SSL Project

The DLC is the premier resource for high quality, energy-
efficient, commercial lighting design and information!

VALUE of DLC QPL
• Program Administrators: No need to create own
specification criteria for SSL to claim energy savings and
bring high quality, efficient products to market
• Manufacturers: Submit one application for easy access to
utility incentives
• Designers and Specifiers: Determine which products
best suit your needs and are energy efficient
• Distributors and Installers: Learn which products will be
in high demand due to utility incentives
• Customers: Assurance of quality and performance

Key Differences
ENERGY EFFICIENCY PARTNER RESOURCE
The Energy Efficiency Partner Resource was designed to help
Lighting Facts utility, Lighting Pro and efficiency sponsor partners
manage, support and promote LED lighting incentive programs.
This effort is part of the Department of Energy’s (DOE)
commitment to support partner efforts to evaluate and choose
quality LED products for incentive programs.
Key Functions Include:
• Manage Products: Designate specifications for LED lighting products to
meet your program eligibility criteria. Use the resource search feature to
identify products that meet a specification and mark them as qualified or
unqualified for your programs.
• Manage Programs: Input information associated with your organization’s
LED lighting incentive programs.
• Market Your Programs: Make your programs publicly available on a list of
registered energy efficiency incentive programs.
Administrative Features:
• Manage Users: Create and manage users who can access your account
information.
• Email Update: Receive notification via email when new products that fit
within the designated criteria for one or more of your programs receive
the Lighting Facts label.
FUNCTION OVERVIEW
GETTING STARTED
