Why to buy products with DLC?

With all the new entrants in the market, the rapid pace of change, and almost every product claiming energy-efficiency in the lighting industry, it is hard to know which products are high performing and which qualify for industry rebates and incentives. Where can you go to get the trusted information that you need? The answer is – The DesignLights Consortium® (DLC).

What is the DLC?

The DLC is a non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the widespread adoption of high-performing commercial lighting solutions. The consortium promotes high-quality, energy-efficient lighting products in collaboration with utilities and energy efficiency program Members, manufacturers, lighting designers, and federal, state, and local entities. The DLC establishes product quality specifications, facilitates thought leadership, and provides information, education, tools and technical expertise to industry stakeholders.

The DLC is currently supported by 85 Members (utilities) with energy efficiency programs throughout the U.S. and Canada. Members and other stakeholders provide expertise and insight into policy and specification development processes and on topics related to quality, performance, energy efficiency, and lighting market transformation. Members use DLC resources to improve their commercial efficiency programs, meet and exceed their energy savings goals, and provide product performance assurance to their customers. Lighting designers use the QPL to search for suitable energy-saving products. Source: DLC
