Class 1

Class 1 LED drivers have output ranges outside UL Class 2 (UL 1310). Safety protection is required within the fixture (LED light) on Class 1 products. Class 1 circuits must be powered by a source with a maximum of 30V and 1 kVA.

Class 2

Class 2 power supplies must meet the National Electric Code (NEC) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL 1310) standards for wiring requirements and power limitations of AC/DC power supplies to minimize shock or fire risks. All Class 2 power supplies must meet the NEC overcurrent protection and wiring sizing regulations. They must be constructed with ‘In-Wall’ rated wiring for permanent installation inside walls or floors, where they may be surrounded by insulation. These wiring requirements help prevent cracking or melting of the wire, which could cause a fire hazard. These power supplies must have a maximum power capacity of 100 VA and cannot exceed a 30 VAC or 60 VDC output, minimizing the risk of electric shock or overheating from excessive currents.

Class II

Class II power supplies must follow the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC 61439-1 design. This code details that Class II power supplies must have two layers of insulation between the user and the internal current-carrying components to protect the user from electrical shock. The initial layer is "basic" insulation. The second double layer is a reinforcement layer that eliminates the need for a protective earth connection (earthing) or a ground connection since the power supply is grounded within the product's casing.

This product meets California Energy Commission (CEC) Title 24 JA8 requirements and is registered in their Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDbS).

Title 24 encompasses regulations for energy conservation, green design, construction, maintenance, fire and life safety, and accessibility in both residential and non-residential buildings across California, covering structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Implemented on January 1, 2017, these Building Energy Efficiency Standards include the Joint Appendix Section 8 (JA8) requirements for residential buildings, which are akin to Title 20 requirements, featuring L/W prerequisites. Compliance with Title 24 entails:

• CRI greater than 90
• R9 greater than 50 (R9 color rendering value indicates how well your lighting will highlight red colors)
• CCT under 4000K
• 6,000-hour lumen maintenance greater than or equal to 86.7%
• Rated life greater than or equal to 15,000 hours
• 10% dimming
• Flicker less than 30% for 200 Hz or below at 100% and 20% levels
• Noise less than 24 dB at 100% and 20%
• Label (either JA8-2016 or JA8-2016-E) on bulb
• Immediate start time (0.5 seconds or less)
