Lighting Equipment Testing

Luminaires mean apparatus which distributes, filters or transforms the light transmitted from one or more lamps and which includes all the parts necessary for supporting, fixing and protecting the lamps, but not the lamps themselves, and where necessary, circuit auxiliaries together with the means for connecting them to the supply. Luminaires are the most common electrical and electronic products in our daily life. They should be designed to ensure safe operation without danger to personnel and the surrounding environment. General requirements and tests of luminaires include classification, marking, mechanical construction, electrical construction, material and photobiological hazards.

Service Process

Q&A

The LED light is a lamp. Can it be used as a light source?

A luminaire with integral non-replaceable lamps is regarded as a luminaire. The LED module lamp is an example of a luminaire.

What do the tests of luminaire equipment include in addition to the usual electrical safety test?

Including testing for photobiological hazards, solve the problem of UV and blue light hazards.

What are the classes of luminaire-Protection against electric shock?

Class 0 luminaire: luminaire in which protection against electric shock does rely on basic insulation only. Class I luminaire: luminaire in which protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation only, but which includes an additional safety precaution in such a way that means are provided for the connection of accessible conductive parts to the protective (earthing) conductor in the fixed wiring of the installation in such a way that accessible conductive parts cannot become live in the event of a failure of the basic insulation. class II luminaire: luminaire in which protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation only, but in which additional safety precautions such as double insulation or reinforced insulation are provided, there being no provision for protective earthing or reliance upon installation conditions. Class III luminaire: luminaire in which protection against electric shock relies on supply at safety extra-low voltage or protective extra-low voltage and in which voltages higher than those of SELV or PELV are not generated.

What is self-ballasted lamp?

Unit which cannot be dismantled without being permanently damaged, provided with a lamp cap and incorporating a light source and any additional elements necessary for starting and stable operation of the light source.
