Non Res Plan ReviewersWATTAGE


Luminaire input wattage is based upon the type and rating of the luminaire (Socket-not the light bulb), not the type of lamp initially installed in a luminaire

A high efficacy lamp screwed into a low efficacy luminaire is still be considered to be a low efficacy lighting system for Title 24 projectsLuminaire Efficacy and Wattage isNOT based on the initial lamp installed


Rules for Determining Wattage 130(d)

Luminaire wattage shall be determined as followsor by a method approved by the Executive Director



Line-Voltage Incandescent LuminairesLine voltage lamp holders (Socket) & no ballasts or transformers Other than GU-24 (GU-24 is a new form of socket only high efficacyOther than recessedRules to determine wattage:Maximum relamping rated wattage as listed on a permanent, pre-printed, factory-installed label



Line-Voltage Incandescent Luminaires continued plan reviewFor RECESSED luminaires with screw-base line-voltage lamp holders shall be the larger of Relamping rated wattage, or50 watts per socket for < 5 aperture diameter regardless of mounting height50 watts per socket for 5 aperture diameter and mounting height 11 feet60 watts per socket for 5 aperture diameter and mounting height > 11 and < 15 feet75 watts per socket for 5 aperture diameter and mounting height 15 feet



Modular LuminairesLuminaires designed to accommodate a variety of trims without changing wiring shall be highest wattage designated by the correlated markingLTG 1C-check this and see if it matches nonresCF6R-check res

Line voltage: Label shall not consist of peel-off or peel-down layers



BallastsPermanently / remotely installed ballasts = operating input wattage of the rated lamp/ballast combination published in manufacturers catalogs based on independent testing lab reports as specified by UL 1598CFL or HID luminaires that accommodate a range of wattages without changing the luminaire housing, ballast, or wiring shall be the larger of the installed lamp/ballast combination, or the average lamp/ballast combination for which the luminaire is rated.



EXAMPLE: Multi-Wattage CFL BallastsUse higher of:Installed wattage, orAverage wattageLamp Wattage263242If 26 or 32 Watt lamps installed:Use average = 33.3 Watts

If 42 watt lamp installed:Use 42 Watts

Line-voltage Track and Plug-in Busway NONRES onlyRated for 20 Amperes or Less (4 options for determining wattage)Option 1 - VA rating of branch circuitOption 2 - Higher of connected load, or 45 watts linear footOption 3 - Higher of VA rating certified integral current limiter, or12.5 watts per linear foot.Note: Integral current limiter must be certified to the Energy Commission. If product is not listed on CEC appliance database, product is not certified.



Line-voltage Track and Plug-in Busway Rated for 20 Amperes or Less continued-NONresOption 4 - Sum of ampere rating of all overcurrent protection devices times branch circuit voltage in a dedicated track lighting supplementary overcurrent protection panel



Specific requirements for dedicated track lighting supplementary overcurrent protection panel NONRESListed as defined in 101Use only with line voltage track lightingBe permanently installed in an electrical equipment room, or adjacent to lighting panel board providing supplementary overcurrent protection for the track lighting circuits servedBe prominently labeled NOTICE: This Panel for Track Lighting Energy Code Compliance Only. The overcurrent protection devices in this panel shall only be replaced with the same or lower amperage. No other overcurrent protective devices shall be added to this panel. Adding to, or replacement of existing overcurrent protective device(s) with higher continuous ampere rating will void the panel listing and require re-submittal and re-certification of California Title 24, Part 6 compliance documentation



Low Voltage NONRES-transformers, transformersLuminaires or lighting systems with permanently installed or remotely installed transformers shall be the rated wattage of the lamp / transformer combination supplying the system (applies to track and individual luminaires)Where transformer rated > 53 watts, label shall not consist of peel-off or peel-down layers

What is GU-24 ?


GU-24 Requirements 130(e)

GU- 24 ProductsThe Standards do not promote or discourage the use of GU-24 products


GU-24 Requirements 130(e)

Title 24 Rules for Determining Luminaire Wattage 130(e)GU-24 Lamps, Luminaires, and Adaptors Installed in California shall not be low efficacy as follows:No GU-24 low efficacy lamps NO SCREW BASENo GU-24 low efficacy luminairesNo GU-24 modular adaptors or luminaire conversions


GU-24 Requirements - Title 20

Title 20 (Appliance Efficiency Regulations adopted December 3, 2008)It is against the laws of the State of California to sell any of the following products in CaliforniaIncandescent lamps with GU-24 bases.GU-24 adaptors that adapt a GU-24 socket to any other line-voltage socket.Luminaires that are equipped with GU-24 sockets which are rated for incandescent lighting of any kind (including low-voltage or high-voltage.)


GU-24 Requirements

Nowhere in the Standards does Title 24 recognize any type ofpermanent screw-based adaptorsHigh efficacy luminaires, for compliance with Title 24, shall not contain screw-base sockets according to 150(k). If a luminaire contains a screw-base socket it is not recognized as high efficacy by T24, regardless of manufacturer claims.Title 24 does not recognize any permanent line-voltage adaptors..


GU-24 Requirements

Nowhere in the Standards does Title 24 recognize any type of permanent screw-based adaptorsAdaptors are NOT recognized by Title 24 as converting a low efficacy luminaire to a high efficacy luminaire. Can use as a retrofit for existing sockets!A luminaire with a screw-based socket will always be classified as an incandescent luminaire, even if a permanent adaptor is installed in the luminaire.


This is a GU 24

Are there any applications in California that allow screw-based to GU-24 sockets to be used?Yes, but only for projects which are not regulated by Title 24 building standards, which include:Existing lighting systems, in existing buildings, which are not part of a Title 24 project.Repairs (replacement of lamps, ballasts, or lenses, which do not involve replacing the fixture), and which are not part of a Title 24 project.


Residential Lighting Standards 150(k)Only Conditions Where GU-24 Can Qualify As High Efficacy. ALMOST NEVER!!!!!!!Luminaire has only factory installed GU-24 lamp sockets, and Luminaire is not a CFL recessed downlight, andNo other types of line voltage sockets are in the luminaire, andThe manufacturer does not provide adaptors to convert GU-24 socket to any other line voltage lamp holder, andLuminaire is rated only for high efficacy lighting systems according to Table 150-C.


An LED source system with a standardized base is an LED lamp.

For purposes of Title 24, an LED bulb which is a drop-in replacement for an incandescent bulb is not an LED light engine with integral heat sink

Residential Compliance Manual Chapter 6.2.10


Multiple-LED Luminaires connected to a Single Power Supply

Additional information in the 2008 Nonresidential Compliance Manual:

When multiple luminaires are connected to a single power supply/driver, the label used to determine the maximum wattage of the LED system Shall be located on the LED power supply/driver

And wattage of the system shall be based on the connected load of that LED power supply/driver as determined by the luminaire manufacturer

Or the rating of that LED power supply/driver as determined by the manufacturer of the power supply/driver.
