On Tuesday the US EPA released a specification for ENERGY STAR qualified LED's. This specification undercuts years of work by the US Department of Energy and allows basically ANY LED product to be ENERGY STAR qualified.
LEDs Magazine has a good round-up here: http://www.ledsmagazine.com/news/5/6/8
If the EPA is successful with this specification, it severely undercuts the overall value and utility of the ENERGY STAR label and will certainly hamper consumer acceptance of LED's by specifying poor quality products.
