Following are three basic product classifications of LED lamps, LED bulbs and LED drivers, and the UL safety standards and special precautions that should be referred to when they are used in various finished products or parts, as the basic guide for manufacturers to conduct product safety testing. However, the table is only for readers'reference, and the actual classification of products still depends on the use of the product and its use environment.
Application product | Standard of safety | matters need attention |
LED lamps and lanterns | ||
Indicator light | UL 48 | - |
Handlebar lamp, kitchen cabinet lamp, desk lamp, standing lamp, wall lamp and so on. | UL 153 | Covering portable lamps, plugs are connected through power lines to branch circuits labeled 120 volts 15 or 20 amps. |
Christmas light string | UL 588 | - |

LED lamp bulb (ANSI Base),Embedded driving circuit | UL 1993 | E27 Base is European rule and can not be used in the North American market. North American market needs E26 Base |
LED lamp bulb (non ANSI Base),Embedded driving circuit | UL 496 | - |
LEDmodule, No driving circuit | UL 60950-1 | - |
LED driver | ||
Power supply (with LPS safety loop) | UL 60950-1 | utput LPS safety loop, then LED module and LED control module do not need the electrical enclosure (Enclosure) |
Power Supplier (without Class 2 Safety Loop) | UL 1012 | LED Module and LED Control Module shall provide appropriate electrical enclosure protection |
Power supply (with Class 2 safety loop) | UL 1310 | output Class 2 safety loop, LED module and LED control module without electric enclosure |
Driver (with LPS/Class 2 safety loop) | UL 935 | outputs LPS/Class 2 safety loop, so the LED module and the LED control module do not need the electric enclosure. |
Low-voltage garden lamp power supply | UL 1838 | LED module and LED control module need to provide appropriate electrical enclosure protection |
