The main performance criteria for the North American market LED
In January 1, 2014, the government announced a comprehensive America "white ban", the North American market is becoming a new hot spot of LED lighting industry growth, demand is strong fermentation. According to the latest market report, North America accounted for the global LED lighting market share of about 25%, commercial lighting, lighting market existing North America to Troffer, T pipe line lamp into the mainstream. Different from the domestic market, the North American market is more mature and rational, the relevant policies and regulations is relatively perfect, requirements for the inspection of products is also high.
The main performance standards for LED lamp of the North American market are: Energy Star Energy Star, DLC (The DesignLights Consortium), LED Lighting Facts, as shown in the following table, testing standards and applications are not the same:
LED Lighting Facts: always use "LED Lighting Facts" mark of the products must be provided by the IES-LM-79-08 test report EPA accredited laboratory test.
The DLC: DLC directory of certified product is used in the American around has not yet been "Energy Star (ENERGY STAR)" to promote the high performance LED standard coverage, its scope and Energy Star products do not coincide, i.e. if the energy star put the product into its system, DLC will send the product a permanent transfer.
Energy Star: energy star test products first through safety testing, to provide the IES-LM-79-08 testing report and according to the report, TM-21-11 LM-80-08 life, test time and energy consumption is fixed, the market supervision and energy star is very strict, must from the market on a randomly selected products regularly checks every year to all EPA Energy Star products, selective examination unqualified products to immediately cancel the Energy Star qualified and have the right to allow manufacturers to do further damages to consumers.
According to the commercial lighting market statistics report, commercial lighting, lighting market existing North America to Troffer, T pipe line lamp into the mainstream. The table below is the October 2, 2013 release of the DLC technical requirements form v2.1:LED Troffer replacement lamp specifications:
DLC technical requirements form v2.1 (Specification Release Webinar):LED Troffer replacement lamp DLC Standard Specification for different size linear lighting requirements are different, and the addition of more luminous flux distribution demanding. DLC for the two inch line lamp minimum flux is 800lm (half 4 inch lamps), the lowest light effect is 100lm/W, and the 3-lamps Troffer, requires minimum flux is 2000lm, the minimum light for 85lm/W. DLC v2.1 is not on the U type tube to do one step closer to the specification requirements, so the standard is not applicable to U type tube.
In 2014 September started the implementation of the latest version of the "Energy Star" lighting the V1.0 specification, to allow the new product model automatically through the certification, as long as the changes of these models against any other requirements of any performance standards or the specification. In addition, this specification update "allowable deviation" part of the contents of the safety report specific tolerance in UL1993 and consistent requirements, test data to measure the temperature change has also been extended to. The tolerance range of light-emitting efficiency and light output value. Remove a specific variant part of a new type of reference information. For those without taking the first certification, beyond the new model allows tolerance range, must receive at least 3000 hours of testing can only be awarded the "Energy Star" certificate.
The lamp that service life of less than 25000 hours, after 3000 hours after the test to achieve specific lumen maintenance rate target, can obtain the energy star certification. However, through the complete (non temporary) service life of certification, must the lamp is 6000 hours of continuous testing. The lamp that life of 30000-50000 hours, test time gain temporary authentication, integrity authentication required can be the. For example, advocates the use life of 30000/50000 lamps to life through certification complete, respectively after 7500 hours and 12500 hours of testing
