The DLC offices will be closed from December 25th, 2024 through January 1st, 2025.  We do not anticipate any delays in application processing from this closure.  Please email info@designlights.org with any questions.

The DLC is pleased to announce the release of a new policy to accept and display product images on the Solid-State Lighting Qualified Products List (SSL QPL), entitled “Requirements for Submitting SSL Product Images.” The DLC will begin accepting SSL product images in early 2024.

Product images will allow energy efficiency program staff to cross-reference product specification sheets with QPL listings more easily. However, please note that image submission will not be required for qualification.


Why Product Images?

The Solid-State Lighting Qualified Products List (SSL QPL) is a valuable reference tool for energy efficiency programs to verify that lighting products are eligible for rebates. To assist in this process, the DLC will accept and display product images that correspond with product listings, allowing program staff to cross-reference product specification sheets with QPL listings more easily.

Submitting Images:

Submitting a product image to include in a QPL listing will be optional. To support manufacturers who list their products on the SSL QPL, there will be no fee to submit product images.

A high-level overview of the image submission process can be found at the bottom of the image policy. Complete instructions for the image submission process will be provided when the DLC begins accepting images in early 2024.


If you have questions about the new image policy, please email info@designlights.org. We look forward to engaging with you to increase the value of the SSL QPL.
