The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the ENERGY STAR "Second Draft of Performance Standards for Three SSL Lamps", including: outdoor pole-type lamps and road lighting, outdoor wall-mounted lighting and parking lot lighting .
   The DOE said that the current draft standard is due to:
   • These new products are being launched on a regular basis;
   • Energy efficiency projects, municipalities and other project investors indicated that they should attach great importance to the application of these products;
   • These listed luminaires have been tested by the CALiPER project and the results show that these luminaires have a wide range of performance;
   • The demonstration project was hosted by the GATEWAY project team of the Utilities, Municipalities and Energy Departments, indicating that these luminaires have the potential for energy savings, and for these applications it is also necessary to define minimum standards of performance.
   The US Department of Energy has also defined FTE (fitned target efficacy) indicators for quantifying the performance of outdoor pole-type luminaires because other existing independent project metrics do not adequately measure the performance of the luminaires, so that these luminaires will Delivered to a predetermined target area.
   The proposed “A†(short-term application) standard adds lighting for outdoor and parking area areas. The lamps covered are as follows:
   1. Outdoor pole type and road lighting: In terms of application, the minimum light output of the luminaire is required to reach 1000 lm (initial luminous flux), regardless of whether the luminaire is protective or unprotected, the output power is high or low, and the luminaire is specific The minimum level of target performance will also change.
   2. Outdoor wall-mounted lighting fixtures: In addition to other indicators, in terms of applications, the minimum light output of the fixture is required to reach 300 lm (initial luminous flux).
   3. Parking lot lighting: In addition to other indicators, in terms of application areas, the minimum light output of the luminaire is required to reach 2000 lm (initial luminous flux).
As of July 31, 2009, the US Department of Energy will invite project investors to review and comment on the draft of the second draft.
