Energy Star

Energy Star is a government program jointly promoted by the US Department of Energy and the US Environmental Protection Agency to better protect the living environment and save energy. Participated by the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1992, it was first promoted on computer products. There are now more than 30 types of products included in the scope of this certification, such as household appliances, heating/cooling equipment, electronic products, lighting products, etc. Currently, lighting products, including energy-saving lamps (CFL), are the most developed in the Chinese market. , Lamps (RLF), traffic lights and exit indicators. As North American consumers continue to pay more attention to global climate change and high energy consumption costs, the market's demand for low-energy, zero-pollution electronic products is also growing rapidly. In particular, the United States has extremely strict requirements for products imported into its homeland. If the majority of lighting manufacturers want to better grasp the US market and provide product competitiveness, it is imperative for their products to pass Energy Star certification.
