MAJOR CHANGES

ALL HIGH EFFICACY LIGHTING: Indoor and outdoor lighting for

new homes must be high efficacy.

NEW Joint Appendix JA8 regulations now contain requirements for more types

of residential high efficacy lamps and luminaires. In the 2013 Standards,

JA8 regulations only applied to LED sources.

Lighting control requirements for indoor spaces are now simpler. Control requirements are

based, in nearly all cases, on the type of lamp or luminaire installed, not the space.

Appendix JA8: Qualification Requirements for High Efficacy Light Sources — Partial List

Specification Requirement

Initial Efficacy ≥ 45 Lumens/Watt

Power Factor at Full Rated Power ≥ 0.90

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) For inseparable SSL luminaires, LED light engines and GU24 LED lamps, ≤ 4000 Kelvin. For all other sources, ≤ 3000 Kelvin

Color Rendering Index (CRI) ≥ 90

R9 ≥ 50

Rated Life ≥ 15,000 hours

MinimumDimming Level ≤ 10%

Flicker < 30% for frequencies of 200 Hz or below, at 100% and 20% light output

Screw-Base LuminairesUnder the 2016 Standards, all luminaires that utilize a screw-based socket, excluding hard-wired ballasted HID, must contain lamps that comply with JA8 high efficacy requirements. All enclosed, screw-base luminaires, must utilize a compliant lamp rated for elevated temperatures. Recessed downlight luminaires with screw based sockets are no longer permitted under the 2016 Standards.

Construction & InspectionThe builder must now provide new homeowners with a luminaire schedule that includes a list of installed lamps and luminaries. This ensures that homeowners know what lighting products they are entitled to when they take possession of a new home. This also makes lighting inspections much more straight forward as all luminaires are high efficacy, and there is a completed luminaire schedule for the owner.

Switching Devices & ControlsLighting control requirements for indoor spaces are now simpler. Control requirements are based, in nearly all cases, on the type of lamp or luminaire installed. Any JA8-compliant lamp or luminaire must be controlled by a vacancy sensor or dimmer. In practice, this requirement translates to any screw-base luminaire, ceiling recessed downlight, dedicated LED luminaire, or luminaire with an LED lamp. In addition, all undercabinet lighting must be switched separately from other lighting in the home.

Control Requirements by SpaceMost space-specific indoor control requirements have been eliminated with one exception. Now, at least one luminaire in the bathroom, garage, laundry room and utility room must be controlled by a vacancy sensor. Preset scene controllers and EMCS can take the place of dimmers as long as the functionality meets code requirements.

High Efficacy Lighting New regulations require that lighting in new homes be high efficacy, while also expanding the types of lighting that qualify as high efficacy. This change eliminates most space by space requirements and ensures that a variety of lighting technologies and techniques are available to builders and contractors. This also removes the need for calculating the wattage of low versus high efficacy luminaires in kitchens. The definition of “high efficacy luminaires” includes all light sources identified as “efficient” under the 2013 Standards. This includes linear fluorescent, pin based compact fluorescent, GU24 base CFL, HID, and induction.
