Soraa lamps get JA8-2016-E Certification
GaN-on-GaN LED company Soraa is the first to have a complete line of LED lamps from MR16s to PARs certified JA8-2016-E under California's new Title 24 lighting standard. Beginning January 1, 2017, all permitted new and retrofit construction projects will require JA8-2016-E certified lamps.
To qualify for California's new lighting standard, LED lamps need to have a colour rendering index (CRI) of 90+ and a deep red (R9) rendering greater than 50. In addition, they must feature less than 30 percent stroboscopic flicker; must dim below 10 percent; and the color point must be very consistent from lamp-to-lamp, within a 3McA ellipse.
Soraa's LED lamps have a CRI of 95 and R9 of 95; have 3McA colour consistency; dim as low as 1 percent; and feature drivers with very low flicker, according to the company.
A full list of Soraa's certified JA8-2016-E compliant LED lamps is on the California Energy Commission's website.
