DLC’s LUNA Program Now Recognized by GSA

Massachusetts-based DesignLights Consortium (DLC) has announced that the U.S. General Services Administration’s (GSA) newly released 2024 P100 Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service – a key document guiding the purchase of products for federal and other public entities – now requires specific types of outdoor lighting to be qualified by the DLC’s LUNA program.

 “Managing over 9,600 federal buildings, the GSA has a keen interest in reducing the taxpayer costs and carbon emissions associated with energy use,” said DLC Executive Director & CEO Tina Halfpenny. “Our LUNA Qualified Products List (QPL) is a practical tool for public facilities to ensure that they illuminate outdoor spaces only where, when and to the extent needed – saving energy and protecting the environment. We could not be more pleased the GSA has recognized its value.”      

 The GSA P100 Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service outlines energy-efficiency benchmarks public agencies must meet when purchasing and installing products for public facilities. For several years, it has required DLC Solid State Lighting (SSL)-listed products to ensure energy-efficient lighting systems. Outdoor luminaires on the LUNA Qualified Products List (QPL) are now also required under the P100 Facilities Standards, except when specific product types needed for a project are not covered by the LUNA technical requirements. 

LUNA-qualified products are designed to reduce both light pollution and energy usage. In addition to meeting independently vetted criteria for mitigating aspects of light pollution such as sky glow and light trespass, luminaires on the LUNA QPL meet all the DLC’s SSL V5.1 thresholds for efficacy, quality, controllability and reliability of commercial LEDs.

Manufacturers who wish to sell outdoor lighting products for use in federal and other public buildings can find additional information on LUNA technical requirements and applications here.
