All,
Well actually, I'm not confused. But I'm certain some consumers are.
I ran across an LED lighting fixture product and they were promoting
"/ETL and DLC Listed/", of course I became curious. DLC is a
consortium about energy efficiency and in this company's view DLC gets
top billing along with ETL safety certification. DLC has been around
for some time and possibly this is the first time I've seen the two
promoted in this manner, but it got my attention. Some companies
ethically make the distinction that DLC is not a safety certification
while others do not.
Maybe I'm blowing this all out of proportion and possibly I'm becoming
territoriality minded, I simply don't want other people treading on my
safety certs soil and that said we certainly don't have exclusive use
of the generic word "listed". I simply don't like the phrase /DLC
Listed/. I've seen this sort of thing before when acronyms are added
to product labeling a little like NASCAR racing stickers or all the
special labeling for food and shampoo, that is when it is used as a
sales tool. Of course, the more acronyms and symbols you add to a
product the better it is, right? Maybe someday we'll have fat-free,
range-free, non-GMO, fair trade, gluten free, grass fed, humanely
handled, made from recycled HDPE lighting products... or maybe not.
Here is that DLC link, https://www.designlights.org/
Happy Friday and best to all, Doug
