Olympia Lighting SF18 LED Linear Flex Achieves DLC Listing — A Global First for Linear Flex
Olympia Lighting is proud to announce that its SF18 LED Linear Flex has officially been listed on the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) Qualified Products List (QPL), making it the first Linear Flex product worldwide to meet DLC performance standards.
The SF18 is designed for both indoor and outdoor architectural lighting applications. It features three-sided illumination and is manufactured using gas-phase silicone through advanced technologies , including tri-color co-extrusion and injection molding. The result is a durable, flexible product that meets the IP68 waterproof standard, making it ideal for demanding installation environments.
Based on official DLC test results, the SF18 delivers:
- Efficacy: 121.67 lm/W
- Luminous Flux: 1,417.5 lm
- Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): 9.91%
- Power Factor: 0.9427
These performance levels meet and exceed DLC criteria for solid-state lighting, qualifying the product for energy efficiency programs and rebate eligibility in the North American market.
DLC listing is a widely recognized mark of high-performance lighting products for commercial and utility-based projects. It verifies key product characteristics, including light output, energy efficiency, color quality, and long-term reliability.
By achieving this listing, Olympia Lighting demonstrates that flexible LED Linear Flex can meet the same technical standards as traditional rigid lighting fixtures. The SF18 provides lighting designers and contractors with a listed, flexible alternative for projects that require both design flexibility and compliance with North American energy standards.
Olympia Lighting remains committed to developing high-performance flexible lighting solutions that meet global performance standards and support the evolving needs of the architectural lighting industry.
