LED LIGHTINGINSPECTION

LED lighting importers typically market lights as meeting lighting testing certain brightness, color or efficiency standards. But how can you confirm production units actually meet these standards?

An integrating sphere test can measure the lighting source using common metrics.

This test requires an integrating sphere system with a spectroradiometer for spectral mismatch corrections and computing software. Most lighting manufacturers should have both the equipment and related software available on-site already, as they’re essential for LED lighting manufacturing.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) lighting testing helps ensure your LED light doesn't emit excessive electromagnetic interference during use. High electromagnetic interference can disrupt or damage other electronics.

Your lighting product’s radiated and conducted emissions shouldn’t affect other products within the same environment, lighting testingnor should it be affected by their emissions.

Aside from safety issues, function issues with a lighting product can also have a major impact on your lighting business’ success.

A function test helps you verify whether your LED lighting product functions properly according to the user manual. This is another one of the most necessary lighting tests that warrants applying to the entire inspection sample size.

Some product quality issues aren’t noticeably visible by just checking the exterior appearance of the product.
