LUMINAIRES IN CANADA – A GUIDE VERSION 2.0
DATE ISSUED: 2015-08-11
INTRODUCTION
LED technology offers significant benefits for outdoor luminaire applications in streets, roads and parking areas,
and garages, including energy savings, maintenance savings and improved visual clarity and safety. Performance
verification combined with luminaire price declines, have increased interest in scaling up installations. This Guide is
intended to make designing the procurement process for LED luminaires for outdoor applications easier, with
special relevance to LED street, roadway, and parking area luminaires. Using this Guide in combination with other
procurement resources should allow you to select the most appropriate products available from manufacturers active
in the Canadian market.
In many ways procuring LED luminaires is different from purchasing lamps, ballasts, and conventional luminaires.
Since an LED luminaire is an integrated electronic, mechanical, and thermal system, the weakest component part
will compromise the performance of the whole. Another factor is that due to its directionality, LED based lighting
exhibits quite different photometric characteristics than traditional lamps. LED performance, therefore, needs to be
measured and evaluated differently, and a variety of parameters needs to be considered in assessing products.
Finally, long-term lumen output remains an issue. While the expectation is that outdoor LED luminaires may last
50,000 hours or more, there aren’t any products yet that have actually been operating in outdoor applications for
such a period to verify such longevity. Fortunately, a new practice recommended, TM-21, appeared, and products
that have been tested for 6,000 hours or more using the TM-21 protocol for estimating long-term lumen
maintenance, published in 2011by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES), are now beginning
to appear in the market.
This Guide addresses selecting the appropriate equipment. It is to be used as a reference for developing specific
language and compliance features relevant to the local situation. Both local conditions and experience will govern
some specific requirements, such as corrosion resistance, light level expectations and networking design, but the
Guide outlines the process for selecting them. Legal considerations will also vary by location. These are not covered
in this document.
Installation, maintenance procurement procedures and financing are not part of this Guide. Cities can do these
activities internally or outsource them as they see fit. Some luminaire suppliers offer some or all of them as part of
their package.
The Guide is modular, with criteria listed in tabular form, so lighting managers can select those provisions most
useful and relevant to them. In addition, annex templates are provided that give a simple way for manufacturers to
indicate their compliance with specific criteria.
Rather than be prescriptive in all criteria, some key provisions are performance based, which requires the bidder to
submit documentation verifying such performance. This puts more onus on the evaluation process to identify the
best products among competing proposal bids that will meet local needs.

In particular:
a) Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT): Research is ongoing to define how the different light spectra affect
human and environmental health. Higher CCT affects sleep patterns, but also improves detection. Deciding
on the optimum balance will depend on location and the results of the ongoing research.
b) Adaptive Controls: Purchasers will need to decide if they want the functionality of controls now, or may
want it in the future, or do not want to accommodate the potential for future installation with units installed
today.

General Approach
The evaluation process should be made clear in the procurement documents. One option is to define minimum
performance requirements that must be met, and the proposal with the lowest life cycle cost will be selected.
However there are usually other factors that are not all or none – such as experience, warranty conditions, or GHG
emissions reductions – that require weighting in the evaluation.
To consider several factors, they can be given a weighting representing their relative value to the purchaser. The
weighting is achieved by assigning each factor a maximum available points within a total of 100 possible points for
the proposal. For some factors, such as light levels or colour, the requirement could be pass or fail, with fail
meaning non-compliant. The purchaser would rank each compliant proposal by the total number of points achieved
across the factors considered.

Alternatively, if the proposed LED luminaire has not yet been evaluated by DLC, the manufacturer may submit
calculations and supporting test data indicating a minimum luminaire lifetime (L70) of 50,000 operating hours,
based on one of two compliance pathways in accordance with Designlights Consortium’s (DLC) Product
Qualification Criteria: (http://www.designlights.org/solidstate.manufacturer.requirements.php).
1) A complete IESNA LM-80 report of the same LED device that is used in the luminaire (see Annex V—
LM-80). Therefore, the LED package part number of the submitted luminaire must appear on this report.
A complete LM-80 test report will include the relative light output over time, for at least 6,000 hours of
continuous operation at three different temperatures measured at the LED package manufacturer-specified
TMP. Following the LM-80 standard, the three TMP temperatures are 55°C, 85°C and a third temperature
selected by the manufacturer.
2) The In Situ Temperature Measurement Test (ISTMT) report of the submitted luminaire including the
measured temperature at the TMP of the hottest LED in the luminaire. The luminaire must have been
tested under ANSI/UL 1598 and the report must contain the same model number of the submitted
luminaire.
3) A photograph documenting the actual temperature measurement location such as a photograph of the
luminaire with a thermo couple attached at the TMP point). For the validity of this document, it must
contain the same model number of the submitted luminaire. This photograph can be incorporated in the
ISTMT document.
4) A document with a schematic or photograph from the LED package manufacturer showing the specified
TMP location. For the validity of this document, it must contain the same part number of the LED package
used in the submitted luminaire.
5) Saved copy of completed ENERGY STAR TM-21 Calculator in a Microsoft Excel file format. Save the
file, using the manufacturer’s model number submitted with the bid, before uploading with other
supporting documentation for Option 1 lumen maintenance. You can download the TM-21 calculator from
the ENERGY STAR website at http://www.energystar.gov/TM-21calculator. Please be sure to download
a new worksheet for each application. Instructions on how to use the calculator are included in the first
page of the worksheet.
For products where the required lifetime is longer than the projection method allows, the necessary lumen
maintenance minimums at the end of the allowable projection period are as follows. These percentages result from
solving an exponential decay function for 35,000 and 50,000 hours.

These parameters are used for benchmarking energy savings across suppliers. They are examples of typical
information only. They are not intended to represent all road types and requirements. Further detailed design will
generally be required during the implementation phase of the LED conversion project to ensure the appropriate
luminaires are being provided for the road types.
Vendors must use a light loss factor (LLF) based on Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Publication TM-21
(Projecting Long Term Lumen Maintenance of LED Light Sources) and show their calculations. Scotopic or
mesopic factors will not be allowed.

their situation in the table, based on the lighting design undertaken for the procurement. Further detailed design will
generally be required during the implementation phase of the LED conversion project to ensure the appropriate
luminaires are being provided for the road types.
