The QPL, published by DLC serves as a resource for programmers to facilitate the selection of improved quality, high-performance solid-state lighting products for promoting energy efficiency.
The DLC, a collaboration of Canadian and United States utility companies and regional energy efficiency organizations is committed to raising awareness of the benefits of efficient lighting in commercial buildings. DLC’s vision is to implement the advanced design approaches among the commercial lighting market, thereby supporting the architects, constructors, designers and commercial proprietors throughout the nation. DLC intends to promote the energy-efficient and high-quality lighting design in all lighting installations. It also furnishes its users with information and resources on reliable LED solutions.
Cooper Lighting showcases over 3,600 models among the 7,000 recommended products on the QPL, representing multiple brands like Lumark, Metalux, Halo, Invue, McGraw-Edison and Streetworks. The represented products furnish LED solutions for outdoor and indoor applications.
