PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. … Power management company Eaton today announced that more
than 12,000 of the light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires from its Cooper Lighting Division have

a leading resource that distinguishes quality, high-performing LED products for commercial

the broadest portfolio available, with greater than 3.5 times more models listed than any other

“The DLC Qualified Products List saves time and brings confidence to lighting specifiers and
property owners that are selecting efficient and reliable products to support sustainable design
practices,” said Mark Eubanks, president, Cooper Lighting Division. “We are committed to
providing our customers with high performance, energy-saving products that meet the strict
standards of the DesignLights Consortium.”
Eaton’s Cooper Lighting business accounts for greater than 25 percent of the 42,801 products
on the QPL. The products listed include indoor and outdoor fixtures from the Halo, Metalux,
Corelite, McGraw-Edison, Lumark, Invue and Streetworks product lines. LED products include

Over its 14-year history, the DLC program has driven the lighting market toward innovation by
providing information, education, tools and technical expertise for cutting-edge technologies.
Products on the QPL meet established minimum performance criteria defined by a third party
organization. The QPL, which today sets the bar for utility efficiency program incentives
across the U.S. and Canada, helps utilities stay on top of the latest manufacturer product
developments.
Each of the products listed on the QPL must be a high-performing commercial LED product
that meets the DLC's minimum performance requirements. The DLC helps builders,
architects, designers and commercial property owners from across the nation implement
improved design practices in all areas of the commercial lighting market. By providing
supporting members with resources and information on reliable LED solutions, the DLC hopes
to ensure that high-quality, energy-efficient lighting design becomes commonplace in all
lighting installations.
