General lighting
UL has been testing lighting products since our inception over 100 years ago. Today, manufacturers of incandescent, fluorescent, LED, and high intensity discharge lighting products rely on UL for performance, EMC, and global safety certifications. Learn more.
Signs
Electric signs and related components fall under their own Standards. Since many of the products in this category are unique, the certification and testing process is different than that of other lighting products. UL works closely with key industry associations through the Sign Industry Business Panel to support the needs of this dynamic industry. Learn more.

Decorative light strings are lighting products used during specific times of the year, such as Christmas lights. UL undertakes a major campaign each holiday season to educate consumers about the many potential safety hazards associated with decorative lighting.
