Lights Products
Lighting certification provides assurance to consumers, retailers, and regulatory bodies that lighting products are safe, reliable, and meet advertised claims. It also helps manufacturers differentiate their products in the market and comply with legal and market entry requirements.
Most modern electrical lighting products include electronic control devices (such as transformers, power supplies, electronic ballasts, or drivers connected to low-voltage power). These devices generate magnetic fields in the circuit, which can cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) in nearby equipment. Additionally, lighting products are often exposed to various sources of EMI in their operating environment. If the product's immunity to interference is insufficient, it can lead to unstable operation or even damage. EMC testing effectively detects the electromagnetic interference and immunity capabilities of lighting products, thereby enhancing the user experience.
Lighting testing and certification involve evaluating and verifying the performance, safety, and quality of lighting products (such as bulbs, fixtures, components, controllers, and luminaires) to ensure they meet regulatory requirements and industry standards. This process includes a series of tests, such as photometric, electrical, environmental, and performance testing.
Lighting certification provides assurance to consumers, retailers, and regulatory bodies that lighting products are safe, reliable, and meet advertised claims. It also helps manufacturers differentiate their products in the market and comply with legal and market entry requirements.
Lighting products include: tubes, bulbs, tunnel lights, industrial and mining lights, street lights, fluorescent lights, desk lamps, floor lamps, ceiling lights, wall lights, lampshades, ceiling spotlights, cabinet lights, light strips, flashlights, and more.
