The DLC is the premier resource for high-quality review and certification of LED lightingproducts that are not covered under the Energy STAR designated categories. RedBird LED has ensured that these products will be eligible for all energy rebate programs currently in place among the DLC's membership and will facilitate rapid approval by other rebate sources as well.
