Working with the lighting industry, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and the American Lighting Association (ALA) developed matrices of lamp and ballast combinations that, when used in residential lighting fixtures, are designed to meet certain ENERGY STAR® performance requirements as defined in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR for Residential Light Fixture Eligibility Criteria, Version 4.0.
Matrix Revision Effort Underway!
EPA is requiring that existing fixture partners who wish to continue their partnership in ENERGY STAR for Residential Lighting Fixtures ensure that all qualifying products meet the requirements of the new Version 4.0 specification, effective October 1, 2005.

All Matrix participants need to have the new spreadsheets completed and sent to NEMA. Please see the documents linked below for necessary information.
Ballast and Lamp manufacturers should submit only additional components using these matrix templates. For changes to components currently listed, please contact Evan Haines, ICF Consulting (ehaines@icfi.com), for an abridged process.
