Steve,
My understanding is to use FCC Part 15. A lot of people default to Part 18, but Part 18 refers to RF lighting and LEDs are not RF lighting. The next thing to look at is the power supply (assuming it’s integrated into the light fixture), and it will likely fall into Part 15. Of course, if the power supply is a separate unit which has already passed FCC testing and you’re attaching a DC load (LED lighting), then is there anything to test? I had to look into this a while back, but never had to go through it myself so I’m just passing on what I learned in the process and I’m welcome to correction. Regards, Chris From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve O'Steen Sent: Friday, June 03, 2011 1:21 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: LED Lighting Fixtures I’m interested in any comments regarding the appropriate EMC requirements for an LED Lighting Fixture for use in North America. Would this default to FCC 47CFR Part 18 or is there a place for it in Part 15? Thanks in advance, Steve O'Steen EMC Director Advanced Compliance Solutions, Inc.
