  2. Table of Contents • Qualifying CFLs to ENERGY STAR • Additional Testing • Partial Test Results to Date • ENERGY STAR Criteria Revision (Version 4.0) • Conclusion

  3. ENERGY STAR Qualified CFLs • Testing CFLs to ENERGY STAR Specifications (Version 3.0) • Tests Performed at Time of Qualification • Lumen Output • Power Consumption • Power Factor • Harmonics • Starting Time/Run-up Time • 1000 Hour Lumen Maintenance • Lumen Maintenance at 40% of Rated Life • Lifetime Testing

  4. Additional Testing • Maintain acceptable levels of performance • PEARL (LRC) • Canada Testing – Powertech Labs in BC • Testing started in August 2005 • Partnership: NRCan, BC Hydro, Manitoba Hydro, Hydro Québec, HydroOne, CEATI • 15 models chosen - one reflector (150 lamps) • Tested to ENERGY STAR specifications (Version 3.0)

  5. Partial Test Results to Date(Canadian Testing) TestPassing Rate • Power Factor 100% • Min. Efficacy requirement 100% • Starting Time 100% • Run-up Time 1 failure • Rated Lumen Output 3 failures • Packaging Requirements 2 failures • 1000 Hour Maintenance 100% • Lumen Maintenance (40%) Not Complete • Lifetime Test Not Complete

  6. Partial Test Results – Con’t(Canadian Testing) • Reflector type tested (one) • Failed Run-up time • Failed Rated Lumen Output • One Particular Brand (2 models) • Failed Rated Lumen Output • One Particular Brand (2 models) • Failed to Comply with Packaging Requirements

  7. ENERGY STAR Criteria Revision (Version 4.0) • Raise the Bar on Performance • ENERGY STAR should represent the BEST • Raise the Bar on Quality • Proposed Changes in Version 4.0 • Efficacy • Reduction of Inconsistencies • Correlated Color Temperature • CFL Reflector Criteria • Reflector Elevated Temperature Interim Life Time Test • Effective Date – January 1, 2007

  8. Conclusions / Next Steps • Quality and Performance Improvements • Third Party Testing & Verification System • Version 4.0 of Criteria in Effect Soon
