Ceiling Fan Light Kits

Ceiling fan light kit means equipment designed to provide light from a ceiling fan that can be – (1) Integral, such that the equipment is attached to the ceiling fan prior to the time of retail sale; or (2) Attachable, such that at the time of retail sale the equipment is not physically attached to the ceiling fan, but maybe included inside the ceiling fan at the time of sale or sold separately for subsequent attachment to the fan.

General Service Lamps

General service lamps (GSLs) include general service incandescent lamps (GSILs), compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), general service light-emitting diode (LED) lamps, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lamps, and any other lamps that are used to satisfy lighting applications traditionally served by GSILs. GSLs are used in general lighting applications and account for the majority of installed lighting in the residential sector. There are currently no standards for GSLs. However, certain products included in the definition of GSLs have existing energy conservation standards, specifically GSILs and medium base CFLs.
