Streamlining Product Qualification Process with Level 1 Applications

Eligibility for Level 1 Applications

Level 1 applications allow for the submission of a single product or a family of models with minor differences. These differences can include CCT, dimming capabilities, voltage variations, or variations that do not affect performance, such as housing color. To qualify, the efficacy testing needs to cover the lowest-CCT product in the group. If there are multiple efficacy requirements necessitating multiple tests, a Level 2 application is recommended.
