DOE Sets new Energy Efficiency Test Procedure for LED Lamps

The Energy Department is adopting an energy efficiency test procedure for integrated light-emitting diode (LED) lamps, it said. The agency’s final rule (here) will “support the implementation of labeling provisions by the Federal Trade Commission, as well as the ongoing general service lamps rulemaking, which includes LED lamps,” DOE said. Compliance with the new test procedures will be required for any representations made on or after Dec. 28.
