US General Services Administration Recognizes DLC's LUNA Program for Energy Efficient Outdoor Lighting

Introduction to the Recognition

The US General Services Administration has acknowledged the importance of DLC's LUNA program for energy-efficient outdoor lighting. This recognition highlights the critical role that LUNA-qualified products play in reducing energy consumption and light pollution in federal and public facilities.

Benefits of LUNA-Qualified Products

LUNA-qualified products are specifically designed to address both energy efficiency and light pollution concerns. These products meet stringent criteria for reducing light pollution, such as sky glow and light trespass, while also meeting high standards for efficacy, quality, controllability, and reliability of commercial LEDs.

Inclusion in GSA's P100 Facilities Standards

The incorporation of outdoor luminaires from the LUNA Qualified Products List (QPL) into the GSA's P100 Facilities Standards reinforces the importance of sustainable lighting practices in federal and public buildings. By mandating the use of LUNA-qualified products, the GSA is promoting energy savings and environmental protection.

Meeting Energy Efficiency Benchmarks

The GSA's P100 Facilities Standards set clear energy efficiency benchmarks that federal agencies must adhere to when procuring lighting products for public facilities. By requiring the use of DLC Solid-State Lighting (SSL)-listed products and LUNA-qualified outdoor luminaires, the GSA is driving the adoption of sustainable lighting solutions.

Implications for Manufacturers

Manufacturers aiming to provide outdoor lighting solutions for federal and public buildings must ensure compliance with the technical requirements outlined by the LUNA program. By meeting these criteria, manufacturers can access a growing market segment interested in energy-efficient and environmentally friendly lighting options.
