18、IGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements apply to light-emitting diode (LED) retrot luminaire conversion kits that are intended to replace existing light sources and systems including incandescent,
19、uorescent, induction, and high intensity discharge (HID) light sources in previously installed luminaires that already comply with the requirements in the Standard for Luminaires, UL 1598. The kits are intended for use on: a) Luminaires where specic luminaire model or part numbers are identied in th
20、e kit installation instructions; or b) One or more generic type luminaires that meet specic criteria identied in the installation kit instructions. 1.2 This standard contains requirements that supplement the luminaire requirements contained in the Standard for Luminaires, UL 1598, that apply to the
21、retrot kit and the luminaire. 1.3 LED retrot kits covered by these requirements include but are not limited to LED lamps and arrays, LED control modules, LED drivers, LED power supplies, wiring, lampholders, brackets, wire connectors, reectors, diffusers, and other associated mechanical, electrical,
22、 or optical devices. 1.4 This standard does not cover luminaire reector kits covered by the Standard for Supplemental Requirements for Luminaire Reector Kits for Installation on Previously Installed Fluorescent Luminaires, UL 1598B. 1.5 This standard does not cover luminaire conversion lamps that ar
23、e intended to replace existing lamps without any modication, rewiring, or component replacement in the luminaire other than direct replacement of the lamp using the existing lampholder. Requirements for these direct replacement lamps are specied in the Standard for Self-Ballasted Lamps and Lamp Adap
24、ters, UL 1993. 1.6 This standard does not cover retrot luminaire conversion kits for amateur movie lights; aquarium lights, cabinet lights, decorative lighting strings, combination fan/IR lamps used for heating, electric signs, exit signs, junction boxes for swimming pool xtures, lamp adapters, low-
25、level path marking and lighting systems, low-voltage landscape lighting, low voltage lighting xtures for use in recreational vehicles, low voltage marine lighting, luminaires for hazardous locations, luminaires for recreational vehicles, marine navigational lights, marine-type xtures, portable elect

28、his standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See the Standards for Components appendix for a list of standards covering components generally used in the products covered by this standard. 2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a f
29、eature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 3 Units of Measurement
30、 3.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 4 Undated References 4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of
31、 that code or standard. 5 Glossary 5.1 For the purposes of this standard, the following denitions apply. 5.2 RETROFIT LUMINAIRE CONVERSION The act of modifying, with additional parts, a luminaire that was already manufactured and in service in order to convert the luminaire to an LED light source, f
32、rom an incandescent, uorescent, induction, or high intensity discharge light source. For purposes of this standard, direct replacement of an incandescent, uorescent, induction, or high intensity discharge lamp to LED lamp, without any electrical or mechanical changes, is not considered to be a lumin
33、aire conversion. 5.3 RETROFIT KIT In the context of these requirements, a kit includes all component parts needed, including instructions, for retrot luminaire conversion.

34、OM UL MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION 6 General 6.1 After installation of the retrot kit, a luminaire shall comply with the requirements in Mechanical Construction, Section 5, of the Standard for Luminaires, UL 1598. 6.2 After installation of a retrot kit, all components of the retrot kit and all components
35、 of the luminaire that were affected by the installation of the retrot kit shall be secured in place so that lamp replacement, inspection of splices to the branch-circuit supply wires, and routine maintenance will not loosen components or joints in the assembly. 7 Polymeric Materials 7.1 A polymeric
36、 material serving to complete the enclosure required in Enclosures, Section 5.3, of the Standard for Luminaires, UL 1598, or providing structural support for any electrical component or for any non-electrical component weighing more than 3 ounces (85 g) shall comply with the requirements in Polymeri
37、c Materials, Section 5.7, of UL 1598. 7.2 A metallized polymeric reector that is spaced within 3 inches (76.2 mm) from any lampholder, lamp contact, lampholder lead, wiring, or other electrical component that are below the metallized surface shall comply with the applicable requirements for metalliz
38、ed plastic parts in the Standard for Polymeric Materials Use in Electrical Equipment Evaluations, UL 746C. 8 Adhesives 8.1 Except as noted in 8.2, an adhesive or adhesive tape shall not be relied upon to secure any part to a panel, bracket, or component of a luminaire. 8.2 An adhesive or adhesive ta
39、pe that complies with the requirements for temperature, humidity, and indoor cyclic conditioning for adhesives in the Standard for Polymeric Materials Use in Electrical Equipment Evaluations, UL 746C, may be relied upon to secure a part of a retrot kit to another part of a retrot kit. With regard to
40、 the temperature conditioning, a normal operating temperature of 90C (194F) shall be assumed unless temperature testing of the luminaire/kit combination indicates that a lower normal operating temperature applies. This requirement applies to all adhesives including an adhesive used to secure a metal
