Model Namemodel_nametextAn identifier assigned by the manufacturer or private labeler to a product or family/series of products for sales and marketing purposes.
Model Numbermodel_numbertextA distinguishing, alphanumeric identifier, assigned to a product by the manufacturer or private labeler. The model number may include a wildcard that can be replaced by any letter or digit and still accurately capture what is covered by the model’s ENERGY STAR certification; an asterisk symbol (*) represents a letter, and a number symbol (#) a digit.
Additional Model Informationadditional_model_informationtextThis column includes for the qualified model or family, family members, additional model names, model numbers and other identifying information associated with a product or family/series of products for sales and marketing purposes. Other identifying information includes, but is not limited to, SKUs, UPC codes, retail numbers, and/or descriptions of models included/not included in the reported Model Family.
Bulb Typebulb_typetextThe shape of the light bulb. General purpose incandescent (i.e. 40W, 60W etc.) replacements include bare-spiral CFLs, and A-shape CFLs and LED bulbs. Globe or "G" type shapes are common for bathroom vanity lights, Reflector bulbs are commonly referred to as flood or spot lights and include R (reflector), bulged reflector (BR), parabolic aluminum reflector (PAR), multifaceted reflector (MR), etc. Decorative types include candle (C) shapes, and Other includes non-standard and less common CFL and LED shapes, etc.
Product Finder Bulb Typeproduct_finder_bulb_typetextThe shape of the light bulb. General purpose incandescent (i.e. 40W, 60W etc.) replacements include bare-spiral CFLs, and A-shape CFLs and LED bulbs. Globe or "G" type shapes are common for bathroom vanity lights, Reflector bulbs are commonly referred to as flood or spot lights and include R (reflector), bulged reflector (BR), parabolic aluminum reflector (PAR), multifaceted reflector (MR), etc. Decorative types include candle (C) shapes, and Other includes non-standard and less common CFL and LED shapes, etc.
Base Typebase_typetextThe connector at the bottom of the light bulb: Common base types include the “Edison” or “medium” screw base (E26), candelabra screw base (E12), and multiple pin bases (GU24, GU10) etc.
Lamp Categorylamp_categorytextIndicates the nominal purpose of the lamp, omnidirectional or general purpose, directional, or decorative.
TechnologytechnologytextThe technology of the light bulb e.g. compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) or light emitting diode (LED).
Warranty (years)warranty_yearsnumberThe number of years the light bulb is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Wattage Equivalency (watts)wattage_equivalency_wattsnumberThe familiar wattage of the traditional bulb that this efficient bulb can replace using fewer watts.
Maximum Overall Length (mm)maximum_overall_length_mmnumberThe maximum length of the light bulb in millimeters.
Maximum Overall Diameter (mm)maximum_overall_diameter_mmnumberThe maximum diameter of the light bulb in millimeters.
CBCPcbcpnumberCenter beam candle power (CBCP) the luminous intensity at the center of the beam, measured in candela (cd).
Beam Anglebeam_anglenumberThe reported angle of the light distribution at which the luminous intensity is 1/2 of the center beam (in degrees).
Brightness (lumens)brightness_lumensnumberA description of the reported light output, measured in lumens (not watts). To save energy, find the ENERGY STAR bulbs with the lumens you need, then choose the one with the lowest watts.
Energy Used (watts)energy_used_wattsnumberThe electric power a light bulb needs to operate is designated by watts (W). For more information, visit our web page on this topic: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.pr_cfls_lumens
Efficacy (lumens/watt)efficacy_lumens_wattnumberThe measure of efficiency of a lamp, defined as the quotient of the total luminous flux emitted by the total light source power input.
Three Waythree_waytextIndicates if the lamp is capable of three way operation.
Life (hrs)life_hrsnumberA light bulb’s estimated lifetime in hours determined by operating a sample of bulbs according to industry test standards. For traditional bulbs like incandescent and CFLs the time that half of the test sample fails is considered rated life. For LED lighting the life is based on the estimated time for the product’s light output to decrease light 30%. By definition, some lamps will fail before their rated life and some will operate beyond their rated life. The ENERGY STAR specifications set minimum rated lifetimes and require extensive switching and long term testing to stress the products. Actual lifetime of products will vary depending on use.
Light Appearance (Kelvin)light_appearance_kelvinnumberThe appearance of the light is indicated by the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) on the Kelvin scale. Lower Kelvin numbers like 2700-3000K mean the light appears more “warm” like incandescent; a CCT of 3500-4100K mean the light is whiter and higher temperatures like 5000-6500K would appear slightly bluer. Light appearance is indicated on bulb packaging.
Color Quality (CRI)color_quality_crinumberThe Color Rendering Index (CRI) of a light source is a measure of color quality and represents the degree of color shift objects undergo when illuminated by the light source as compared with the color of those same objects when illuminated by a reference source of comparable color temperature. The ENERGY STAR specifications require a CRI of at least 80. Incandescent lighting has a CRI of 100. Early fluorescent lighting had CRIs in the 60s, resulting in unpleasant appearance of skin tones.
R9r9numberThe R9 value is not included in the Color Rendering Index (CRI) score but important for a light source to show red in objects with red in them, such as skin tones, natural wood tones, produce, meats, and artwork. Higher numbers represent more accurate rendering of red.
Power Factorpower_factornumberThe ratio of real power that flows to the light bulb versus the amount of power actually consumed. A light bulb with a lower power factor will draw more current than a light bulb with a higher power factor for the same amount of useful power transferred.
DimmabledimmabletextIndicates if the lamp manufacturer claims that the lamp is dimmable and meets the requirements in the specification.
Dims Down to %dims_down_tonumberThe minimum light output level of a lamp when operated on a dimmer. Typically expressed as a percentage.
Lamp Rated for Enclosed Fixtureslamp_rated_for_enclosed_fixturestextWhether the lamp is rated for use in enclosed fixtures.
Special Featuresspecial_featurestextMost bulbs are designed to operate on an on/off switch. However, some bulbs have been designed with features to perform in specialized applications, such as with dimmers or three-way control. Special features and compatibility with controls should be clearly marked on the product packaging, cut sheet or web site for the product.
Connected Lampconnected_lamptextIndicates whether the lamp meets the criteria to be recognized as connected.
Communication Method/Connected Protocolcommunication_method_connected_protocoltextThe method of communications or connected protocol that a connected lamp uses.
Standby Power Consumption (W)standby_power_consumption_wnumberThe amount of power that a connected lamp draws when it is not producing light but in standby mode.
Date Available on Marketdate_available_on_marketcalendar_dateThe date that the model is available for purchase.
Date Certifieddate_qualifiedcalendar_dateThe date on which the product was confirmed to meet the ENERGY STAR specification.
MarketsmarketstextIncludes products sold in the U.S. and/or Canada and other ENERGY STAR partner countries.
ENERGY STAR Model Identifierenergy_star_model_identifiertextA unique string of characters assigned by certification bodies (CBs) to identify a model or set of models with the same performance characteristics. This identifier should remain the same for a model even if it is recertified to a new version of an ENERGY STAR specification. This string of characters is determined by CBs and is not the ENERGY STAR Unique ID assigned by EPA.
ENERGY STAR Unique IDpd_idnumberThe ENERGY STAR Unique ID (ESUID) is a string of seven numbers EPA assigns to an ENERGY STAR model or set of models with unique performance characteristics. This ESUID is unique to both the model and product specification version and is assigned by EPA upon receipt of certification information from the certification body. Each row within the product list will have a unique ESUID. Developers may wish to use this ESUID to track information on certified models in their information systems.
