On March 26, 2018, US time, DLC officially released the technical requirements for solid state lighting product standard V4.3. As the most influential performance certification standard for commercial lighting products in North America, DLC certification has a huge influence on the design and sales of commercial lighting products exported to the United States.

The DLC standard has been upgraded from V4.1 to V4.2 to V4.3, and has no direct impact on most of the products listed in DLC. At that time, the DLC submission must use the new version V4.3 submission form, and the old form V4.2 will not be accepted. The old form will result in an upload error. Does not affect the products that have been listed by DLC, the main changes in the new specification:

The following three certification product categories have been added:

Color Tunable Product;

Field-adjustable Product Field-Adjustable Product;

3ft, 8ft lamp and 2G11 base replacement lamp 3ft, 8ft, 2G11 Linear Replacement lamp.

Add one

Toning product

Table1 - White Light Adjustable Product Submission Data Form

Auxiliary documents:

Applicants must provide the following information documents, which can be reflected in product specifications, technical materials or marketing materials.

The method of color control is described, the controller controls the basic principle of position picture and transmission control;

Applicable standard documents or agreements;

Detailed instructions on how to meet the setup requirements for the test, and maintain the documentation for the laboratory test and the DLC review are identical.

The following information is listed on the QPL website:

The product will be clearly listed as "White-Tunable" or "Warm-Dimming".

The “White-Tunable” color-coded product will list the corresponding light output, power, efficacy, THD, CRI, PF, CCT, ring-band luminous flux, and aspect ratio in the minimum light effect state. In addition, the maximum power is displayed elsewhere. , minimum CCT, highest CCT, minimum light output maximum light output.

The “Warm-Dimming” product will list the values ​​corresponding to the maximum light output setting. Including light output, power, light efficiency, THD, CRI, PF, CCT, ring light flux, distance to height ratio.

Add two

Field adjustable product

The following information is listed on the QPL website:

Dimmable products will reflect "continuous down to ≤10%", "continuous not down to ≤10%", or "stepped";

Field-adjustable products will reflect "Adjustable Light Output";

Dimmable products will reflect the parameters in the full output state. Including light output, light efficiency, THD, PF, CRI, CCT, ring light distribution, aspect ratio, dimming level;

Field-adjustable products will reflect the default state parameters. Including light output, light efficiency, THD, PF, CRI, CCT, ring light distribution, aspect ratio, minimum and maximum power, minimum and maximum light output.

Add three

3-foot TLED, 8-foot TLED and 2G11 base replacement lamp products

T8 3 foot LED tube

36" long (0.9 m) with G13 base. Marketing materials must state that they replace T8 fluorescent tubes of the same length. Lamps of other lengths and other burners are not in this range, and compatible ballasts are not in the DLC range. Type C can be dragged 1-2-3-4.

T8 8 foot LED tube

96" long (2.4 m) with FA8 base. Marketing materials must state that they are replacing T8 or T12 fluorescent tubes of the same length. Lamps of other lengths and other lamp heads are not in this range, and compatible ballasts are not in the DLC range. Type C can drag 1-2.

Can be applied as Type A, Type B, Type C, Type A+B

Type A uses the A standard 0.88 Ballast factor, an electronic instant-start ballast.

DLC adds 2G11 lamp head product category

Type A, Type B, Type C and Type A+B can be applied. At the same time, the 2G11 lamp does not require ballast compatibility testing. The length of the lamp must meet the 20 inch or greater requirement.

Reference for the 3ft 0.9m test light panel:

Lithonia C 2 25 MVOLT GEB10IS, Lithonia Z 2 25 MVOLT GEB10IS Columbia CS3-225-EU, Columbia CH3-225-EU, Pre-approved equivalent.

8ft 2.4m test light panel reference:

C 2 96T8 MVOLT GEB10IS, Columbia CS8-296T8-EU, Texas Fluorescent C 259 MV, Pre-approved equivalent.
