Nora Lighting’s LEDs Make the Energy-Efficiency Database

August 3, 2010

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has approved the listing of Nora Lighting’s new LED fixtures on the Commission’s Appliance Efficiency Database. This approval certifies that Nora LED products meet or exceed California’s energy-efficiency standards for residential and commercial installations.

The products on the list include all models of Nora’s LED LightBars, LED recessed down lights, LED tape lights and LED pendants. The database is featured on a new website that allows real-time queries of more than 230,000 active appliance listings. Manufacturers can display both compliance and performance data, and consumers can compare appliance models.

Regional building inspectors use the CEC website as a guide when conducting inspections to certify that the lighting fixtures are approved and listed by the CEC. The CEC works to protect the stability of California’s resources, and while the state’s population has grown significantly and more electrical appliances are in use than ever before, the per-capita electricity consumption has remained flat since the 1970s.
