4. Outdoor astronomical time-switch controls, in addition to meeting all of the requirements for astronomical time-switch controls, shall have setback functions that allow the lighting on each controlled channel to be switched or dimmed to lower levels. The set back functions shall be capable of being programmed by the user for at least one specific time of day.
Daylighting controls.
1. Automatic daylight controls shall meet all requirements for automatic daylight control devices in the Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations.

Dimmers shall meet all requirements for dimmer control devices in the Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations.
Occupant sensing controls: Occupant, motion and vacancy sensor controls shall meet the following requirements:
1. Occupant sensors shall meet all applicable requirements for occupant sensor control devices in the Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations.
2. Motion sensors shall meet all applicable requirements for motion sensor controls devices in the Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations.
3. Vacancy sensors shall meet all applicable requirements for vacancy sensor controls devices in the Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations.
4. Partial-ON sensors shall meet all applicable requirements for partial on sensing devices in the Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations.
5. Partial-OFF sensors shall meet all applicable requirements for partial off sensing devices in the Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations.
6. All Occupant Sensing Control types shall be programmed to turn OFF all or part of the lighting no longer than 20 minutes after the space is vacated of occupants, except as specified by Section 130.1(c)8.
  Exception to Section 110.9(b)4: Occupant sensing control systems may consist of a combination of single or multilevel occupant, motion or vacancy sensor controls, provided that components installed to comply with manual-on requirements shall not be capable of conversion by the user from manual-on to automatic-on functionality.
Part-night outdoor lighting controls, as defined in Section 100.1, shall meet all of the following requirements:
1. Have sunrise and sunset prediction accuracy within +/- 15 minutes and timekeeping accuracy within five minutes per year; and
2. Have the ability to setback or turn off lighting at night as required in Section 130.2(c), by means of a programmable timeclock or motion sensing device; and
3. When controlled with a timeclock, shall be capable of being programmed to allow the setback or turning off of the lighting to occur from any time at night until any time in the morning, as determined by the user.

(c) Track lighting integral current limiter. An integral current limiter for line-voltage track lighting shall be recognized for compliance with Part 6 only if it meets all of the following requirements:

Shall be certified to the Energy Commission as meeting all of the applicable requirements in Section 110.9(c); and
Shall comply with the lighting control installation requirements in accordance with Section 130.4; and
Shall be manufactured so that the current limiter housing is used exclusively on the same manufacturer's track for which it is designed; and
Shall be designed so that the current limiter housing is permanently attached to the track so that the system will be irreparably damaged if the current limiter housing were to be removed after installation into the track. Methods of attachment may include but are not limited to one-way barbs, rivets and one-way screws; and
Shall employ tamper resistant fasteners for the cover to the wiring compartment; and
Shall have the identical volt-ampere (VA) rating of the current limiter as installed and rated for compliance with Part 6 clearly marked as follows; and
1. So that it is visible for the enforcement agency's field inspection without opening coverplates, fixtures or panels; and
2. Permanently marked on the circuit breaker; and
3. On a factory-printed label that is permanently affixed to a nonremovable base-plate inside the wiring compartment.
Shall have a conspicuous factory installed label permanently affixed to the inside of the wiring compartment warning against removing, tampering with, rewiring or bypassing the device; and
Each electrical panel from which track lighting integral current limiters are energized shall have a factory printed label permanently affixed and prominently located, stating the following: "NOTICE: Current limiting devices installed in track lighting integral current limiters connected to this panel shall only be replaced with the same or lower amperage. Adding track or replacement of existing current limiters with higher continuous ampere rating will void the track lighting integral current limiter certification, and will require resubmittal of compliance documentation to the enforcement agency responsible for compliance with the California Title 24, Part 6 Building Energy Efficiency Standards."

(d) Track lighting supplementary overcurrent protection panel. A Track Lighting Supplementary Overcurrent Protection Panel shall be used only for line-voltage track lighting and shall be recognized for compliance with Part 6 only if it meets all of the following requirements:

Shall comply with the Lighting Control Installation requirements in accordance with Section 130.4; and
Shall be listed as defined in Section 100.1; and
Shall be used only for line voltage track lighting. No other lighting or building power shall be used in a Supplementary Overcurrent Protection Panel used to determine input wattage for track lighting; and
Be permanently installed in an electrical equipment room, or permanently installed adjacent to the lighting panel board providing supplementary overcurrent protection for the track lighting circuits served by the supplementary over current protection pane; and
Shall have a permanently installed label that is prominently located stating the following: "NOTICE: This Panel for Track Lighting Energy Code Compliance Only." The overcurrent protection devices in this panel shall only be replaced with the same or lower amperage. No other overcurrent protective device shall be added to this panel. Adding to, or replacement of, existing overcurrent protective device(s) with higher continuous ampere rating will void the panel listing and require resubmittal of compliance documentation to the enforcement agency responsible for compliance with the California Title 24, Part 6 Building Energy Efficiency Standards.

(e) JA8 high efficacy light sources. To qualify as JA8 high efficacy light source for compliance with the residential lighting Standards in Section 150.0(k), a residential light source shall be certified to the Energy Commission according to Reference Joint Appendix JA-8. Nonresidential light sources are not required to be certified to the Energy Commission.

(f) Ballasts for residential recessed luminaires. To qualify as high efficacy for compliance with Section 150.0(k), any compact fluorescent lamp ballast in a residential recessed luminaire shall meet all of the following conditions:

Be rated by the ballast manufacturer to have a minimum rated life of 30,000 hours when operated at or below a specified maximum case temperature. This maximum ballast case temperature specified by the ballast manufacturer shall not be exceeded when tested in accordance to UL 1598 Section 19.15; and
Have a ballast factor of not less than 0.90 for nondimming ballasts and a ballast factor of not less than 0.85 for dimming ballasts.
