What to look at for this product

If your light therapy power adapter is supplied as an external power source, request the efficiency evidence covering the electrical supply for your light device.

If your adapter is imported under your company name, ask who will handle the importer energy registration for this replacement electrical supply.

If your adapter is requested with retailer safety documentation, ask for the safety certification evidence that the retailer requires for that supply model.

If your adapter needs the external supply efficiency marking, check its energy level artwork against the replacement power supply offered by your manufacturer.

If your adapter will sell in California within the regulated scope, ask whether the replacement supply model has its separate California registration.

If your adapter uses switching power electronics, ask whether its supplier declaration is an industry practice or a verified legal requirement for that power supply.
