Lighting Facts Partner

The United Stated Department of Energy has taken the lead to ensure high quality LED products by creating the Lighting Facts Partnership Program. LED Savings Solutions is a Lighting Facts Partner as well as an SSL Quality Advocate, both which show our commitment to representing only the highest quality products and promoting truth in advertising.

We also require our manufacturers to be registered with the Lighting Facts program and recommend that they complete the independent testing requirements and submit their products to the program.

Once the independent testing reports are approved by the DOE, the Lighting Facts Label is awarded. See below for details on what the label includes:

Light Output/Lumens
Measures light output. The higher the number, the more light is emitted.
Reported as “Total Integrated Flux (Lumens)” on LM-79 test report.

Watts
Measures energy required to light the product. The lower the wattage, the less energy used.
Reported as “Input Power (Watts)” on LM-79 report.

Lumens per Watt/Efficacy
Measures efficiency. The higher the number, the more efficient the product.
Reported as “Efficacy” on LM-79 test report.

IESNA LM-79-2008
Industry standardized test procedure that measures performance qualities of LED luminaires and integral lamps. It allows for a true comparison of luminaires regardless of the light source.

Color Rendering Index (CRI)
Measures color accuracy.
Color rendition is the effect of the lamp's light spectrum on the color appearance of objects.

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)
Measures light color.
“Cool” colors have higher Kelvin temperatures (3600–5500 K);
“Warm” colors have lower color temperatures (2700–3500 K).
