DLC Technical Requirements V5.0 to be Released February 14

LDS 22 CS DLC 400

Jan 23, 2020

The Version 5.0 revision to the SSL Technical Requirements is the first of a series of V5 specifications designed to improve the quality of light and connectivity of DLC listed products. As a whole, V5’s phased approach to incorporating quality of light and controllability metrics on the QPL will help ensure only high-quality products are listed, superior performing products can be differentiated, and additional energy savings are realized.

The initial draft Technical Requirements V5.0 laid out the DLC’s broad vision for improving the quality of light and controllability of products on the SSL QPL. Draft 2, and future Technical Requirements releases in the V5 program, will focus on implementing these requirements on a timeline that aligns with industry development cycles and current research.
