Global Lighting - English
The importance of lighting safety, performance and efficiency for a growing market
Lighting is no longer limited to illumination, the market is now looking to lighting to solve problems that include food production, wellness and – with LiFi – network connectivity. It has never been more important for lighting products to be reliable, safe and sustainable.
Our lighting performance, energy efficiency and safety testing offerings help you meet the demands of a rapidly growing market, while mitigating the risks associated with innovation and evolving regulations.
Independent testing to demonstrate global market compliance
Lighting performance testing
Our performance tests help you demonstrate compliance with industry, national and international standards, using data from an objective, independent source. We test performance by simulating anticipated everyday usage in controlled laboratory settings, providing objective confirmation of lighting product performance claims. Our capabilities include:
- Photometry (IES, EN, UNI)
- Claims verification
- Competitive benchmarking
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Lifetime
- Environmental
- Extreme temperatures
- High humidity
- Moisture/rain
- Research and development (R&D) testing
Test lighting products for energy efficiency programs
The growing emphasis on sustainability means that you need to meet demanding efficiency benchmarks in order to bring products to the global market.
Our energy efficiency testing services can confirm your compliance to current energy efficiency requirements in your target markets. Our global team actively participates in standards development and can help keep you ahead of the curve on new and evolving regulations and industry standards.
We are accredited to test lighting products for the following energy efficiency programs:
- California Energy Commission (CEC)
- The DesignLights Consortium®
- ENERGY STAR®
- LED Lighting Facts®
Evaluate lighting safety through testing
Our safety testing for LEDs used in lighting products check for issues such as shock hazards, risk of fire and health concerns (biological hazards) that could be caused by exposure to the electromagnetic radiation produced by these light sources.
