Report card for the product category of phototherapy lights. Most commercially available phototherapy lights were unsuitable for use in low-resource settings due to price, inability to replace lightbulbs, and lack of stringent regulatory body approval. Candidate technology D was not purchased for evaluation due to the product being discontinued. Three phototherapy lights from two manufacturers that passed technical, environmental, and usability testing were designated as qualified for use in low-resource settings. Abbreviations: TPP Target Product Profile, ISO International Organization for Standardization, IMCAF International Medical Device Regulators Forum, LED light-emitting diode, VAC Volts Alternating Current, Hz hertz, SUS System Usability Survey
