ACGIH Kenall NOTE: This is an organization & not a listing. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) is a professional association of industrial hygienists and practitioners of related professions. One of its goals is to advance worker protection by providing timely, objective, scientific information to occupational and environmental health professionals.
ADA Kenall Although ADA is not specific to lighting, it does impact fixture by creating standards for wall sconce projection space and hanging light clearance. Section 4.4 of the ADA states that ”objects projecting from walls with their leading edges between 27” and 80” above the finished floor shall protrude no more than 4” into walks, halls, corridors, passageways or aisles.”
BAA Compliant Kenall The Buy American Act requires federal agencies to procure end items manufactured in the United States that are at least 65% domestic content between 2024-2028, and 75% by 2029.
Buy American Act (BAA) Wattsttopper All items and materials manufactured in the United States
Buy American Act (BAA) Finelite The Buy American Act is a U.S. federal law enacted in 1933 that mandates the federal government to prefer U.S.-made products in its procurement processes. The primary goal of the Act is to support American manufacturers and protect American jobs by ensuring that federal contracts for goods and services prioritize domestically produced items.
CCEA Approved Kenall The City of Chicago Environmental Air (CCEA) rating ensures that the luminaire is inherently airtight. Wiring and/ or branch circuit terminations are sealed off and gasketed from the plenum air space. This listing ensures that the luminaire is sealed to limit air flow from the room side to the plenum.
CE Wattsttopper The presence of the logo on commercial products indicates that the manufacturer or importer affirms the goods' conformity with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.
Chicago Plenum Finelite Chicago Plenum requires the housing to be airtight in addition to requiring all wiring to be sealed off and gasketed from the plenum air space.

Damp RatedFineliteDamp rated lights are designed to withstand moist environments, specifically those where condensation may build up in and around the fixture. Damp-rated lights can go both outdoors and indoors, but keep in mind that these fixtures can withstand moisture, but not direct contact with the elements.
Damp RatedFocal PointA location that is normally or periodically subject to condensation of moisture in, on, or adjacent to, electrical equipment, and includes partially protected locations such as covered outdoor environments
Declare / LBC Red List FreeFocal Point

"The Declare Label from the International Living Future Institute 
Declare is a platform to share and find healthy building products. Manufacturers voluntarily disclose product information on easy-to-read Declare labels, which are accessible on a free database used by leading designers, real estate owners, and conscientious homeowners to specify products they know they can trust.

By facilitating and simplifying the exchange of complex ingredient information, Declare has positively changed the materials marketplace to enable the creation of buildings that support human and environmental health.
Red List Free
 
Declare screens a product’s ingredients directly against the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Red List, saving project teams from the arduous task of vetting products by hand. The LBC Red List contains the “worst in class” materials, chemicals and elements known to pose serious risks to human health and the greater ecosystem that are prevalent in the building products industry.  
 
LBC RED LIST FREE products disclose 100% of ingredients present at or above 100 ppm (0.01%) in the final product and do not contain any Red List chemicals."

Declare/Third Party Verified/ USGBC/WELLFineliteOver 90% of our portfolio has received third-party verified Red List Approved and Declared labels. Declare is a voluntary self-disclosure program designed by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI) which aims to transform the building materials industry towards healthier products through transparency.
DLCWattsttopperDLC, or Design Lights Consortium, is a program that promotes the quality, performance, and energy-efficiency of commercial lighting solutions.
DLCFineliteDesign Lights Consortium. A DLC listing means that a specific product has been tested to deliver superior energy efficiency. DLC-certified lighting fixtures generally offer higher lumens per watt (LPW). The higher the LPW, the more energy is converted into usable light (and the less energy is lost to heat and other inefficiencies).
Energy CodeWattsttopperLearn how Legrand has simplified the process by offering recommended code compliant solutions designed with Wattstopper products.  
Energy StarFocal PointENERGY STAR is a voluntary program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that promotes energy efficiency in a wide range of consumer products and building systems. Our ENERGY STAR certified luminaires have been evaluated for compliance with more than 20 industry standards to ensure energy savings without compromising on light output or color quality. ENERGY STAR partners – including many state and local governments and energy utilities – often provide tax exemptions, credits and rebates for use of ENERGY STAR certified luminaires.

Title 24 JA8Finelite

"Title 24 is the sixth section of the California Energy Code that states that all residential and non-residential buildings must only use a capped number of watts per linear foot of luminaires to reduce energy consumption. Our products are highly efficient and can be tailored to your exact light output requirements to help you achieve project goals.

An Addendum to the California Energy Code - JA8 is a subsection of Title 24 that lists specific requirements a light source must meet to qualify as residential lighting. This includes points like CRI > 90, CCT < 4000k, R9 > 50, and 6 other categories. We’re proud to say that our products have qualified under these standards."

Title 24 JA8Focal Point

"California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standard Title 24, Part 6 is designed to ensure new and existing residential and nonresidential buildings achieve energy efficiency. Considered one of the strictest energy codes in the United States, it is published and regularly updated by the California Energy Commission (CEC) to preserve the quality of the environment through the reduction of energy usage by limiting the allowed lighting power, in watts, in a building. Residential luminaires must be certified to meet the High Efficacy Lighting standards under Joint Appendix 8 (JA8).

Our 2016 & 2019 JA8 High Efficacy Lighting luminaires meet the strict energy standards and other criteria specified by the CEC for both residential and nonresidential applications, ensuring energy savings without compromising on light quality."
