ENERGY STAR is a voluntary labeling program designed to help consumers identify energy-efficient, cost-effective products. To earn the label, a manufacturer’s product must meet strict efficiency and performance criteria established by the Federal government. On Aug. 31, 2010, the final ENERGY STAR criteria for integral LED replacement lamps became effective.
In the case of LED replacement lamps, the criteria require the product to be at least as efficient as comparable compact fluorescent lamps while providing light output, color and distribution equivalent to incandescent or halogen lamps.
The criteria are described in this article I wrote for Electrical Contractor Magazine; read it here.
