How to Test LEDs to Ensure Fixtures Last the Test of Time

Fixture burn-ins can provide you with the peace of mind needed to ensure that your LED fixtures last as long as they’re intended to.

Understanding specification sheets and fixture features can get confusing when comparing lighting packages. Our team is well trained to understand specification sheets and regulations so that you can make the best investment for your application.

While lighting fixture manufacturers are required to follow a set of regulations as determined by ANSI, NEMA, and UL Standards, most of the regulations are set to the LED diode and solid state manufacturers that adhere to quality and longevity standards. While this process ensures the quality of the LED source, fixture quality standards are normally determined by the individual LED source standards and certifications that other components in the fixture itself may not have to adhere to.

Understanding Standardized LED Testing

LED Diodes are developed

Diodes go through rigorous testing and certification

Manufacturer selects diodes for their fixtures that abide by ANSI, NEMA, and UL Standards

How Can We Help Ensure the Quality of Your LED Fixtures?

When helping you determine the right fixtures for your application specifications, we analyze the LED(s) utilized in a wide variety of fixtures to be sure the quality of light the fixture exerts fits and exceeds your needs.

It is well known that fixture diodes and components are more likely to fail within their first few hours of installation; from burned-out individual diodes, overheating, or a wide range of other failures. To ensure the quality of light from your selected fixtures last as intended, we offer fixture burn-ins, a process that tests the longevity of the LED diodes in their most important phase of development. During this process, we test the fixture for over 20 hours, ten hours longer than the manufacturer’s normal testing time, far longer than the anticipated failure time.
