Residential Recessed Downlights Update
Marc Ledbetter, PNNL
Energy Star® LightingPartners Meeting
April 28, 2004
![Page 2: Residential Recessed Downlights - ENERGY STAR · PDF fileResidential Recessed Downlights Update Marc Ledbetter, PNNL Energy Star ... • 26-watt CFL (yellow) • Ballast mounted on](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030408/5a89ecce7f8b9a78648b9713/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Project Status• 6 products from 3 companies successfully
completed lab testing– Cycling 3 hours “ON”, 20 minutes “OFF” for 12
months• 4 of 6 successful products are retrofit style
– EPA draft revisions to Energy Star specifications will allow retrofit style
• 2 of 6 successful products are new construction style– Priced high relative to incandescent downlights

Starting Phase III Because:• More innovation in product category needed• Range of successful products from Phase II is
small; primarily retrofit style• Interest is still high
– Proposed 2005 CA Title 24 will require “high efficacy ICAT downlights
• Believe more extensive technical assistance in product development will yield more innovation

Phase III Plans• Continue supporting Phase II products• Competitive solicitation for manufacturers to
partner with PNNL (June, 2004)• Bidders compete for access to technical
assistance, association with DOE program, and promotional assistance
• Winning bidders receive technical assistance– Provide technical assistance package, with design
concepts and associated test results– Consulting, testing

Phase III Plans (cont.)
• Partners develop prototype fixtures• Evaluation panel (experts, buyers, builders)
reviews prototypes; approves for final testing• Promotion of successful products in
cooperation with partners (Spring 2005)

Experiments to Support Phase III Completed• Better understand thermal characteristics
of airtight recessed cans operating in insulated ceilings
• Using infrared imaging• Proof of concept testing for thermal
modifications

Analytical Method• Performed experiments on various
combinations of design features in a simulated insulated ceiling apparatus: – Baseplate size and material– Ballast location and thermal coupling– Cylinder thermal isolation
• Used factorial analysis to estimate interactive effects among design features

Test Apparatus• 24" x 24" x 30"
plywood box• 12" loose fill cellulose
insulation ~ R-45• Similar to UL test
apparatus• Datalogger with 25
thermocouple channel capability
