The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has completed Round 9 of product testing through the DOE Solid-State Lighting (SSL) CALiPER program. A Summary Report containing the results from Round 9 testing is now available for download on the DOE SSL website at www.ssl.energy.gov/reports.html.

Round 9 of product testing focused primarily on recessed downlights; 2′x2′ troffers and flat panel luminaires; 4′ linear replacement lamps; and small replacement lamps including MR16, PAR, and R lamps, A-lamps, and candelabras. An SSL desk lamp was also tested.

The Department allows detailed test results from CALiPER testing to be distributed in the public interest for noncommercial, educational purposes only. Detailed test reports for Round 9 will be available soon through the searchable online CALiPER system: www.ssl.energy.gov/search.html.
