Eligible Fixture Types

ENERGY STAR qualified LED lighting offers energy-saving options for commercial spaces, such as shelf-mounted and recessed lighting, as well as outdoor lighting. A fixture with LEDs is a seamless unit, built to last for many years. Find ENERGY STAR qualified LED lighting at home centers, lighting showrooms, and specialty stores.

What do I need to know before I buy an LED lighting product?

  • Ask for ENERGY STAR — tell your supplier or procurement official to only buy ENERGY STAR qualified — for good quality and a minimum three-year warranty.
  • Make sure you have a compatible dimmer switch if you want to dim your lights. Fixture manufacturers can provide a list of approved dimmers switches.
  • Make sure the color of the light is appropriate for the space — ask your supplier what colors are available.
  • Check back every few months — to see what new types of LED lighting products will be eligible for ENERGY STAR. Like the early days of computers, LED lighting technology is advancing at an incredible rate.
