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 4.2.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE NEMA/ALA MATRIX AND ENERGY STAR QUALIFICATION

Ballast and Lamp manufacturers should submit only additional components using these matrix templates. Completed matrix templates should be forwarded to ICF International for review at rlf@icfi.com.

For changes to components currently listed, please contact rlf@icfi.com for an abridged process.
