(iv) Freezers specifically designed for ice cream.

6. "High-intensity discharge lamp" means a lamp in which light is produced by the
passage of an electric current through a vapor or gas and in which the light producing
arc is stabilized by bulb wall temperature and the arc tube has a bulb wall loading in
excess of three watts per square centimeter.

7. "Illuminated exit sign" means an internally illuminated sign that is designed to
be permanently fixed in place to identify a building exit and that consists of an
electrically powered integral light source that both illuminates the legend "exit" and
any directional indicators and provides contrast between the legend, any directional
indicators and the background.

8. "Large packaged air conditioning equipment" means electrically operated, air

capacity greater than or equal to two hundred forty thousand BTU per hour but less than
seven hundred sixty thousand BTU per hour and that is built as a package and shipped as a
whole to end user sites.

9. "Low voltage dry type distribution transformer" means a transformer to which all
of the following apply:

(a) Has an input voltage of six hundred volts or less.

(b) Is air cooled.

(c) Does not use oil as a coolant.

(d) Is rated for operation at a frequency of sixty hertz.

10. "Metal halide lamp" means a high intensity discharge lamp in which the major
portion of the light is produced by radiation of metal halides and their products of
dissociation, possibly in combination with metallic vapors.

11. "Metal halide lamp fixture" means a light fixture designed to be operated with a
metal halide lamp and a ballast for a metal halide lamp.

12. "Portable electric spa" means a factory-built electric spa or hot tub that is
supplied with equipment for heating and circulating water.

13. "Probe start metal halide ballast" means a ballast used to operate metal halide
lamps that does not contain an ignitor and which instead starts lamps by using a third
starting electrode probe in the arc tube.

14. "Pulldown refrigerator" means a commercial refrigerator specifically designed to
rapidly reduce all integrated product temperatures from ninety degrees fahrenheit to
thirty-eight degrees fahrenheit over a twelve hour period when fully loaded with beverage
containers.

15. "Residential pool pump" means a pump that is used to circulate and filter
residential swimming pool water in order to maintain clarity and sanitation and that
consists, in part, of a motor and an impeller and housing.

16. "Residential pool pump motor" means a definite purpose motor designed for use in
a residential pool pump.

17. "Single voltage external AC to DC power supply" means a device that:

(a) Is designed to convert line voltage AC input into lower voltage DC output.

(b) Is able to convert to only one DC output voltage at a time.

(c) Is sold with, or intended to be used with, a separate end use product that
constitutes the primary power load.

(d) Is contained within a separate physical enclosure from the end use product.

(e) Is connected to the end use product via a removable or hard wired male/female
electrical connection, cable, cord or other wiring.

(f) Does not have batteries or battery packs, including those that are removable
and that physically attach directly to the power supply unit.
