ALSI, a Pennsylvania-based manufacturer
that specializes in developing and manufacturing high-powered, ultra energy-efficient,
light emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures, is pleased to announce they
have become formally accepted into U.S. Department of Energy’s “Solid-State
Lighting Quality Advocates” program.
Solid-State Lighting Quality Advocates is sponsored by the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) to assure and improve the quality of LED lighting products. Participation
in SSL Quality Advocates is open to those who manufacture, sell, and recommend
the best in LED lighting. The SSL Quality Advocates program showcases LED
luminaire manufacturers who commit to testing products and reporting performance
results according to industry standards. For lighting buyers, designers, and
energy efficiency programs, the Lighting Facts label provides information essential
to evaluating products and identifying the best options.
In addition to becoming a Solid-State Lighting Quality Advocate, ALSI has also
been notified that 5 of their ALLED™ brand lighting products
have been formally accepted as meeting U.S. DOE’s requirements to receive and
display its “Lighting Facts” performance label.
“DOE’s Lighting
Facts program data is derived and audited from IESNA LM-79 test reports,”
stated Robert McAnally, ALSI’s Vice President of Operations.
“These test reports, from our DOE-certified independent test laboratory,
clearly show our products to be industry-leading, from the perspective
of total Lumens (light output), Lumens-per-watt (efficiency), and color
accuracy.”
