The DLC qualifies commercial LED luminaires, retrofit kits, linear replacement lamps, mogul screw-base (E39 /E40) replacement lamps, and four pin-base replacement lamps for CFLs for inclusion on the Solid-State Lighting QPL. Products must be marketed as and intended for one of the available product categories and meet the DLC’s Technical Requirements to be eligible for qualification. Manufacturers must list full and complete model numbers in all application submissions.

Please review Product Eligibility, the Technical Requirements, and any additional testing and reporting requirements for your specific product categories to determine whether your product is eligible before submitting an application.

The application is evaluated against the Technical Requirements version in effect at the time the application is submitted. Re-submissions of an application are evaluated against either the original version of the Technical Requirements, or the version in effect when the re-submission was received, at the discretion of the DLC reviewer.

The DLC accepts and displays product images on the SSL QPL. The Requirements for Submitting SSL Product Images outlines the file requirements and style guidelines for these images. Submitting product images with an application is optional and incurs no additional fees.

The DLC reserves the right to alter or amend program policies, including Technical Requirements, such changes may result in products being removed from the QPL at the discretion of the DLC.

Please contact applications@designlights.org with any questions about submitting an application to the DLC.
