The DesignLights Consortium’s (DLC) Qualified Products Lists (QPL) provide a wealth of third-party verified information on over 250,000 high performing solid-state lighting products, almost 1,200 horticultural LEDs, nearly 50 LUNA (for responsible light at night) products , and 61 networked lighting control systems. Using the QPLs enables lighting decision makers to shorten and simplify the process of finding products that save energy and qualify for rebate programs while meeting the needs of a variety of non-residential lighting applications. Listings include details regarding each product’s performance including efficacy, color properties, wattage, light distribution, and controllability features. Networked lighting controls listings include control strategy capabilities for each system, as well as case studies provided by the manufacturer.
Streamlining the product selection process further, the QPLs enable users to add information on various products to a list that can then be downloaded and compared in Excel. All that’s needed is a free MyDLC account, which takes just a minute to set up.
