‘‘(B) The Secretary may modify the definition of ‘commercial 
prerinse spray valve’ by rule— 
‘‘(i) to include products— 
‘‘(I) that are extensively used in conjunction with 
commercial dishwashing and ware washing equipment; 
‘‘(II) the application of standards to which would 
result in significant energy savings; and 
‘‘(III) the application of standards to which would 
meet the criteria specified in section 325(o)(4); and 
‘‘(ii) to exclude products— 
‘‘(I) that are used for special food service applica-
tions; 
‘‘(II) that are unlikely to be widely used in conjunc-
tion with commercial dishwashing and ware washing 
equipment; and 
‘‘(III) the application of standards to which would 
not result in significant energy savings. 
‘‘(34) The term ‘dehumidifier’ means a self-contained, elec-
trically operated, and mechanically encased assembly consisting 
of—

‘‘(iii) is rated for operation at a frequency of 60 Hertz. 
‘‘(B) The term ‘distribution transformer’ does not include— 
‘‘(i) a transformer with multiple voltage taps, the 
highest of which equals at least 20 percent more than 
the lowest; 
‘‘(ii) a transformer that is designed to be used in a 
special purpose application and is unlikely to be used in 
general purpose applications, such as a drive transformer, 
rectifier transformer, auto-transformer, Uninterruptible 
Power System transformer, impedance transformer, regu-
lating transformer, sealed and nonventilating transformer, 
machine tool transformer, welding transformer, grounding 
transformer, or testing transformer; or 
‘‘(iii) any transformer not listed in clause (ii) that is 
excluded by the Secretary by rule because— 
‘‘(I) the transformer is designed for a special 
application;

‘‘(II) the transformer is unlikely to be used in 
general purpose applications; and 
‘‘(III) the application of standards to the trans-
former would not result in significant energy savings. 
‘‘(36) The term ‘external power supply’ means an external 
power supply circuit that is used to convert household electric 
current into DC current or lower-voltage AC current to operate 
a consumer product. 
‘‘(37) The term ‘illuminated exit sign’ means a sign that— 
‘‘(A) is designed to be permanently fixed in place to 
identify an exit; and 
‘‘(B) consists of an electrically powered integral light 
source that— 
‘‘(i) illuminates the legend ‘EXIT’ and any direc-
tional indicators; and 
‘‘(ii) provides contrast between the legend, any 
directional indicators, and the background. 
‘‘(38) The term ‘low-voltage dry-type distribution trans-
former’ means a distribution transformer that— 
‘‘(A) has an input voltage of 600 volts or less; 
‘‘(B) is air-cooled; and 
‘‘(C) does not use oil as a coolant. 
‘‘(39) The term ‘pedestrian module’ means a light signal 
used to convey movement information to pedestrians. 
‘‘(40) The term ‘refrigerated bottled or canned beverage 
vending machine’ means a commercial refrigerator that cools 
bottled or canned beverages and dispenses the bottled or canned 
beverages on payment. 
‘‘(41) The term ‘standby mode’ means the lowest power 
consumption mode, as established on an individual product 
basis by the Secretary, that— 
‘‘(A) cannot be switched off or influenced by the user; 
and 
‘‘(B) may persist for an indefinite time when an appli-
ance is— 
‘‘(i) connected to the main electricity supply; and 
‘‘(ii) used in accordance with the instructions of 
the manufacturer. 
‘‘(42) The term ‘torchiere’ means a portable electric lamp 
with a reflector bowl that directs light upward to give indirect 
illumination.
