4 VII. RETROFIT LIGHTING ELIGIBILITY AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS General LED Requirements LED replacement lamps and LED luminaires must be listed on the Design Lights Consortium (DLC) or ENERGY STAR Qualified Products list. DLC or ENERGY STAR qualified retrofit kits are acceptable as substitutions for fixture replacements. LED measures not listed on this application may be considered under the custom application, provided the measures are DLC or ENERGY STAR qualified products. LED lamps purchased through retail channels where PSO ENERGY STAR residential lighting discounts are applied at the point-of-sale are not eligible for rebates. LED wattage inputs and requirements are based on total system/fixture wattage (including ballast factor, if applicable), except where noted. TLED Requirements All TLEDs, regardless of type or application, must be listed on the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) qualified product list (QPL). If proposing to install TLEDs in existing fixtures using a de-lamping approach (e.g., installing 2 TLEDs in place of 4 fluorescent lamps), then standard fluorescent de-lamping technical requirements apply, such as requiring lamp centering and the use of listed retrofit kits. LED wattage inputs and requirements are based on total system/fixture wattage (including ballast factor, if applicable), except where noted. Currently, three types of TLED products are recognized. Specific technical requirements for each TLED variant are listed below. Type A - TLED using instant or rapid start fluorescent ballast as power supply o New compatible instant or rapid start fluorescent ballast must be installed. o Label must be installed in fixture indicating that fixture has been retrofitted with TLEDs and that fluorescent lamps should not be installed as replacements. Type B - TLED with no external driver; line voltage (120 / 277v) applied to TLED via lamp-holder o Existing fluorescent ballast must be removed o Condition of existing lamp-holders must be verified; replace damaged, corroded, cracked lamp-holders as necessary o Label must be installed in fixture indicating that fixture has been retrofitted with TLEDs and that fluorescent lamps should not be installed as replacements. Type C - TLED using dedicated external driver o Existing fluorescent ballast must be removed o Technical specifications for the power supply/driver supplied with the TLEDs must be submitted General Linear Fluorescent Lamp and Ballast Requirements 32w 4-ft HPT8 lamps and high-efficiency T8 ballasts must be listed on the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) product list or meet CEE standards. 28w and 25w 4-ft RWT8 lamps and high-efficiency T8 ballasts must be listed on the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) product list or meet CEE standards. 8-ft T8 lamps are not eligible for prescriptive lighting rebates. 17w 2-ft T8 or 25w 3-ft T8 lamps must have minimum efficacy of 75 mean lumens/watt.
