For "Premium" level, the light output, efficiency, and warranty requirements raise higher, and demand L90
36000 hours.

Change 2

Combined the outdoor luminaires and outdoor retrofit kit as two broad categories, and grouped into three categories based on the light output (low, mid, and high) with different minimum efficiency. 

Change 3

Combined the indoor luminaires and indoor retrofit kit as two broad categories, and standarded the light output requirement. 

Change 4

Add "Specialty" subcategory into luminaires, no requirement for efficacy but can not qualified as "Premium" level. 

Change 5

Manufactures need to provide specification of power supply/driver, must indicating the location of Tc and measured maximum case temperature, and provide the driver ISTMT report.
