The lamp efficacy  shall be the average of the lesser of the lumens per watt measured in  the base up an/or other specified positions. Use wattages place on  packaging to select proper specification efficacy in this table, not  measured wattage. Labeled wattages are for reference only.\2\ Efficacies are based on measured values for lumens and wattages from  pertinent test data. Wattages and lumens placed on packages may not be  used in calculation and are not governed by this specification. For  multi-level or dimmable systems, measurements shall be at the highest  setting. Acceptable measurement error is ±3%.
