based on—
(I)the applicable

is designed to operate at more than 1 nominal input voltage, the ballast input
watts used in the target efficacy rating calculation shall be the highest value
for any nominal input voltage for which the ballast is designed to
operate.
(iii)If the luminaire
is a pole-mounted outdoor luminaire that contains a ballast that is labeled to
operate lamps of more than 1 wattage, the luminaire shall—
(I)meet or exceed the
target efficacy rating in the table in section 342(g)(1)(B) calculated in
accordance with clause (i) for all lamp wattages that the ballast is labeled to
operate;
(II)be constructed
such that the luminaire is only capable of accepting lamp wattages that produce
target efficacy ratings that meet or exceed the values in the table in section
342(g)(1)(B) calculated in accordance with clause (i); or

is a pole-mounted outdoor luminaire that is constructed such that the luminaire
will only accept an ANSI Type–O lamp, the luminaire shall meet or exceed the
target efficacy rating in the table in section 342(g)(1)(B) when tested with an
ANSI Type–O lamp.
(v)If
the luminaire is a pole-mounted outdoor luminaire that is marketed to use a
coated lamp, the luminaire shall meet or exceed the target efficacy rating in
the table in section 342(g)(1)(B) when tested with a coated lamp.
(vi)If the luminaire
is a solid state lighting pole-mounted outdoor luminaire, the luminaire shall
have its target efficacy rating calculated based on the combination of absolute
luminaire lumen values and input wattages that results in the lowest possible
target efficacy rating for any light source, including ranges of correlated
color temperature and color rendering index values, for which the luminaire is
marketed by the luminaire manufacturer.
(vii)If the luminaire
is a high intensity discharge pole-mounted outdoor luminaire using a ballast
that has a ballast factor different than 1, the target efficacy rating of the
luminaire shall be calculated by using the input watts needed to operate the
lamp at full rated power, or by using the actual ballast factor of the
ballast.

included that were not the result of having applied applicable industry
standards; or
