Qualified Products
Transition to SSL V5.1 in 2022
 The DLC’s Solid State Lighting Technical Requirements Version 5.1 (SSL V5.1) aims to boost the lighting quality of products on the DLC’s Qualified Products List (QPL). Performance data on attributes such as color and discomfort glare based on light distribution are reported and available for QPL users to better distinguish characteristics needed for various installations. The policy also requires disclosure of integrated controls and ensures that QPL products are capable of being dimmed, a critical component for capturing additional savings and potentially integrating lighting with other building systems.
