Lighting and other products
This information is for manufacturers, ACPs and other product applicants. It details how to apply for acceptance for lighting and other products such as chimney dampers. Lighting includes products like LEDs and induction lamps.
Do not submit more than 10 lighting products in one application.
Calculation methods requiring lighting acceptance
Only lights on the Accepted Product List can be used for lighting implementations done under the Home Energy Efficiency Retrofits method.
From 12 September 2025 you are no longer required to use lights from the Accepted Product list for the following methods:
- Project Impact Assessment with Measurement and Verification (PIAM&V)
- Metered Baseline Method (MBM)
- Public Lighting method.
You will now need to retain relevant evidence for your chosen lights. See the relevant method guide for information on new evidence requirements.
If your product is on the Accepted Products list, it will have already met the safety or performance requirements published by the Scheme Administrator. No further evidence will be required.
Lamp Circuit Power
This section has technical details on Lamp Circuit Power (LCP). This information may help with your application.
LCPs at rated power
You must determine Lamp Circuit Power (LCP) at a product’s rated wattage. Lower wattage settings for switchable products are not allowed. See Notice 05/2020.
If the LCP is determined at the rated power, then you can use products with:
- dimming capability
- multiple wattage setting
- drivers with adjustable power or current output.
For more details on what this means for your product, please see our information paper.
Chimney dampers
Chimney dampers for ESS activities under the HEER method must be accepted by the Scheme Administrator. See section 3.3 of Product Acceptance for Lighting and Chimney Dampers for specific guidance on chimney damper applications.
