Topaz Lighting Corporation (Topaz), is a Holtsville, New York, based company that manufactures lamps. Topaz sold or offered for sale state-regulated light emitting diodes (SLEDs) and small diameter directional lamps (SDDLs) in California, from January 2018 to April 2020.

This case was the result of an industry complaint. The California Energy Commission's (CEC) investigation process identified that Topaz was manufacturing and offering for sale SLEDs and SDDLs that did not meet the efficiency standard and were not certified to the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDbS).

To settle this matter, Topaz executed a Settlement Agreement with CEC on February 8, 2021, for $101,100.00. The penalty monies are deposited into the Appliance Efficiency Enforcement Subaccount established by SB 454 of 2011 (Pavley). Topaz has also agreed to a compliance plan to discontinue sales of non-compliant lamps in California and test and certify all California compliant models to MAEDbS before continuing to sell in California.
