Basic introduction
In the past decade, innovative lighting technologies such as LED (light emitting diode) have been increasingly accepted as economic and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional bulbs. The improvement of manufacturers' and consumers' awareness has become the driving force for the further development of technological limits.
We can provide comprehensive energy efficiency testing and certification services for your lighting products according to regulatory requirements, industrial and standard requirements and your specific requirements.

Life performance (expected life)
Methods from the initial (0 hours) to 6000 hours, the luminous flux and color were measured every 1000 hours, and the life span was calculated when the luminous flux was 70% of the initial value.
Test item: survival rate of color drift maintained by luminous flux
Premature switch failure
