Lighting Standards
UL wrote the standard for LED Lighting, UL8750, and it now serves at the backbone of safety in North America and Canada lighting standards.
Sustainability Standards
Safety Standards
Lighting Performance Standards
UL tests to performance standards including residential, commercial, traffic signal and mining lighting products.
