If you want to claim the mercury-free lamps in your credit calculations, then you have to provide manufacturer documentation showing that they are just as energy efficient as their conventional counterparts. However, you are allowed to exempt up to 10% of the total number of lamps in your project building from the credit calculations. So, it may affect your overall weighted average mercury content, but you can exempt those 1541 mercury free lamps if you're unable to find all of the manufacturer documentation.

Hi Jason, Thank you for your advice, 2/3 of these mercury-free lamps does have the manufacturing spec, and ready for submission. only 1/3 of it doesn't able to collect from local manufacturer. again, Thank you.
