ENERGY STAR Advanced Lighting Package
Taking Energy-Efficient Lighting to the Next Level
Lighting adds beauty and drama to a home. It can make a small room look open and
airy or a large room appear cozy and inviting. Keeping a home filled with light,
however, can require a significant amount of energy. The ENERGY STAR Advanced
Lighting Package (ALP) helps reduce energy use. ALP complements the ENERGY
STAR label for new homes by identifying homes equipped with a comprehensive set
of ENERGY STAR qualified lighting fixtures and ceiling fans.
BENEFITS OF THE ADVANCED LIGHTING PACKAGE
• Energy Cost Savings. ENERGY STAR qualified lighting
typically uses 75 percent less energy than standard
incandescent bulbs. ENERGY STAR qualified ceiling fans with
lights are about 50 percent more efficient than conventional
fan/light units.

•	Improved Quality. ENERGY STAR qualified lighting fixtures meet strict EPA
guidelines for energy efficiency and produce warm, long-lasting light without slow
starts or annoying flicker or hum.
•	Less Time on a Ladder. The bulbs in ENERGY STAR qualified fixtures and ceiling
fan light kits can last up to 10 times longer than standard bulbs, which means
homeowners change bulbs less frequently.
•	Enhanced Comfort, ENERGY STAR qualified lighting generates
about 75 percent less heat than standard incandescent lighting,
which translates into reduced home cooling costs and added
comfort during the summer months.
•	Environmental Protection. Power plants generate the energy that
powers most homes. Lowering energy use at home helps prevent
greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants at the source.

FEATURES OF THE ADVANCED LIGHTING PACKAGE
To receive the ALP designation, a home must include
ENERGY STAR qualified lighting fixtures for:
•	50 percent of the total fixtures in high-use rooms,
such as the family room or kitchen;
•	25 percent of the total fixtures in medium or low-use
rooms, such as the office or bedroom; and
•	50 percent of the total number of outdoor fixtures,
excluding landscape lighting.
•	In addition, 100 percent of the ceiling fans must be
ENERGY STAR qualified. ENERGY STAR qualified
light kits in ceiling fans can be counted toward the
fixture requirement. (Ventilation fans in bathrooms do
not need to be labeled.)
