Qualify a Product for Solid State Lighting Level 2 Applications

Eligibility Criteria for Level 2 Applications

To submit a Level 2 (formerly Family Grouping) application, the group of products must adhere to specific criteria. The family group should consist of a single LED package/module/array or a standardized set of LED packages/modules/arrays. The fixture must demonstrate scalability or modular use of identical components like electronics, optics, heat sinking, etc. While some design parameters can vary, they should not impact performance significantly. Multiple driver variations and LED drive currents can be present within the family group.

Model Number Requirements

Submitters must provide complete model numbers that showcase all product options available in the family group. Full and complete model numbers should include all variations, even non-performance affecting ones. Options like exterior paint color, mounting, or plug types can be bracketed within a single model number. Different drivers can be listed together if they perform similarly. Unique drivers need separate model numbers.

Brand Name Instructions

For efficient searchability on the Qualified Products List (QPL), the DLC mandates the inclusion of a Brand Name on all product applications. Consistent brand name usage enhances product discoverability and reduces user confusion. If the Brand Name field is left blank, it will default to the manufacturer name. Avoid spelling errors, extraneous characters, and duplicate entries to streamline product searches.

Qualify a Product with SSL and LUNA: Level 1 Application Guidelines

Eligibility for Level 1 Applications

To qualify for a Level 1 (formerly Single Product) Application, your product must either be a single product with one model number or a family of models with minimal differences. These differences can include variations in CCT, dimming capabilities with the same driver, voltage ranges with the same driver, or non-performance affecting variations like housing color. The efficacy testing must cover the lowest-CCT product in the group, and if multiple efficacy requirements exist, you may need to apply as a Level 2 application.
