Description of content: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to establish test
procedures for certain categories of general service lamps (GSLs) to support
the ongoing energy conservation standards rulemaking. Specifically, this
rulemaking proposes new test procedures for determining the initial lumen output,
input power, lamp efficacy, power factor, and standby mode power of GSLs that
are not integrated light emitting diode (LED) lamps, compact florescent lamps
(CFLs), or general service incandescent lamps (GSILs). DOE is also proposing
clarifying references to the existing lamp test procedures and sampling plans
for determining the represented values of integrated LED lamps, CFLs, and
GSILs.
