(B) Use light sources other than compact fluorescent lamps that have lumens per watt performance at least equivalent to comparable configured compact fluorescent lamps meeting the energy conservation standards described in paragraph (2)(ii)(A) of this section.
(3) Ceiling fan light kits with pin-based sockets for fluorescent lamps manufactured on or after January 1, 2007 shall—
(i) Meet the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Residential Light Fixtures version 4.0 issued by the Environmental Protection Agency; and
(ii) Be packaged with lamps to fill all sockets.
(4) Ceiling fan light kits with socket types other than those covered in paragraphs (2) and (3) of this section, including candelabra screw base sockets, manufactured on or after January 1, 2009—
(i) Shall not be capable of operating with lamps that total more than 190 watts; and
(ii) Shall be packaged to include the lamps described in clause (i) with the ceiling fan light kits.
(t) Torchieres. A torchiere manufactured on or after January 1, 2006 shall:
(1) Consume not more than 190 watts of power; and
(2) Not be capable of operating with lamps that total more than 190 watts.
(u) Medium Base Compact Fluorescent Lamps. A bare lamp and covered lamp (no reflector) medium base compact fluorescent lamp manufactured on or after January 1, 2006, shall meet the following requirements:
Factor | Requirements |
---|
Lamp Power (Watts) & Configuration1 | Minimum Efficacy: lumens/watt(Based upon initial lumen data).2 |
Bare Lamp: | |
Lamp Power <15 | 45.0. |
Lamp Power ≥15 | 60.0. |
Covered Lamp (no reflector): | |
Lamp Power <15 | 40.0. |
15≥ Lamp Power <19 | 48.0. |
19≥ Lamp Power <25 | 50.0 |
Lamp Power ≥25 | 55.0. |
1,000-hour Lumen Maintenance | The average of at least 5 lamps must be a minimum 90.0% of initial (100-hour) lumen output @ 1,000 hours of rated life. |
Lumen Maintenance | 80.0% of initial (100-hour) rating at 40 percent of rated life (per ANSI C78.5 Clause 4.10). |
Rapid Cycle Stress Test | Per ANSI C78.5 and IESNA LM–65 (clauses 2,3,5, and 6). Exception: Cycle times must be 5 minutes on, 5 minutes off. Lamp will be cycled once for every two hours of rated life. At least 5 lamps must meet or exceed the minimum number of cycles. |
Average Rated Lamp Life | ≥6,000 hours as declared by the manufacturer on packaging. At 80% of rated life, statistical methods may be used to confirm lifetime claims based on sampling performance. |
