A plan of America energy Department about revises the LED lighting energy test

USA Department of energy (DOE) proposed that light emitting diode (light-emitting diode, LED) new energy test procedures for lighting, our stakeholders should pay attention to the.

The proposal makes it clear that method for measuring lumen output, output power and relative spectrum, to determine correlated color temperature. Also rule proposed a method for computing of the LED bulb service life, and definition of the LED lamp life is refers to the length of time until the 70% lumen, it increase the effect of LED lighting and the calculation method of color index.

USA Department has also recently issued a supplementary notice, revised the defined of "life", in order to make it consistent with the statutory definition of Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975. DOE proposed a new definition of a "down time", to support the definition of the revised "life". Interested parties can submit comments on 4 August, data and information.
