CALiPER Summary Reports

DOE publishes CALiPER Summary Reports following completion of each testing series. Each Summary Report published through 2011 covers a variety of lighting products, but starting in 2012, Summary Reports focus on a single product type or application. Products are selected with the intent of capturing the current state of the market—a cross section ranging from expected low to high performing products—with the bulk characterizing the average of the range.
