Evaluating LED performance to meet standards
With a rapid increase in demand for LEDs, the number of manufacturers serving the worldwide market has also increased. Although most manufacturers claim the superior quality of their products, tests on LED products show drastic variations in lighting quality, performance, and efficiency. Businesses investing in lighting solutions run the risk of buying low-quality products, which can further strain the finances in addition to frequent luminaire replacement costs.
Mysupplier’s product verification program is a systematic approach to verify all components of a LED system against relevant standards in order to build confidence among LED buyers. Mysupplier independently evaluates the performance of LED products and determines if they satisfy their intended use.
Product verification program
LEDs are a highly reliable light source with a failure rate of less than 3% in the industry. LED failure can occur due to several reasons, but mostly due to poor-quality components, test procedures, inefficient heat sink design, driver failure among many others. By evaluating the reliability of key components in a LED system, we would be able to establish the performance and characteristics of a luminaire over its lifetime. Our product verification program evaluates the following key parameters in a lighting system to ensure its performance.
LED performance
Thermal management
Lumen maintenance
Color consistency
Driver electronics
System safety & reliability
LED testing & standards
Product Warranty
The Verification Matrix
Mysupplier’s verification matrix is comprised of a comprehensive list of parameters that are verified to evaluate the performance of a luminaire system. The verification model is outlined to validate if the manufacturer's performance claims can be matched against the test data. Our verification procedure's objective is to ensure the test addresses the performance of the complete LED luminaire system and not just the individual components of the luminaire.
Verified to meet industry standards
In addition to Mysupplier’s independent verification program, there are a number of globally recognized standards and certification bodies like Design Light Consortium (DLC), ENERGY STAR, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Edison Testing Laboratories (ETL), National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), Title 24/20, and RoHS. These evaluate, test, and certify LED lighting products to ensure safety, efficiency, performance, and environmental standards. All lighting products specified by Mysupplier are certified by these organizations and comply with their test standards.
