ISO 17025 Accredited and DLC-Approved LM-79 Testing Laboratory
LED-based solid-state lighting (SSL) products offer many advantages over incandescent lamps, but they present unique challenges for performance measurements. LM-79 was developed by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) to standardize the photometric and electrical measurements of LED-based SSL products and is the benchmark test for lighting manufacturers and numerous qualification programs.
