Philips Lumileds takes the lead in releasing the LM-80 test report for the lumen maintenance

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Philips Lumileds today announced that it is the first power LED manufacturer to publicly release LM-80 test report data to enable luminaire manufacturers to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using different LEDs in their solid state lighting solutions. The published data documents the lumen maintenance performance under various conditions, clearly indicating that its lumen maintenance performance far exceeds the requirements of ENERGY STAR®.

The Philips Lumileds LM-80 test report complies with and is published in accordance with the American Society of Lighting Engineering (IES) LM-80-08 standard.

Steve Barlow, vice president of sales and marketing at Philips Lumileds, said: "LUXEON Rebel's lumen maintenance is clearly at the industry's leading level. By using our LM-80 report, system designers can help achieve ENERGY STAR® compliant certification standards, and Optimize the solution to achieve the desired level of lumen maintenance. These reports are just one of the many tools we offer to simplify the development and production of LED luminaires. We encourage other manufacturers to adopt this model to help simplify And accelerate the development of the solid state lighting market."

Due to differences in materials and manufacturing processes, there is a huge difference in the lumen maintenance performance of LEDs from different manufacturers. Philips Lumileds has been investigating factors affecting power LED lumen maintenance (the time for this research is much earlier than any other manufacturer) and hopes to improve performance and more accurately describe lumen maintenance for the lighting industry. characteristic.

Rudi Hechfellner, Director of Applications at Philips Lumileds, said: “Relying on the general LED lumen maintenance claims used by luminaire manufacturers is bound to lead to disappointment with LED solutions.” In order to get the best lumen maintenance through proper design Philips Lumileds recommends that the luminaire manufacturer and the lighting industry do the following:

1. Understand the specific lumen maintenance characteristics of the selected LED.
2. Ignore the general statement about the maintenance of LED lumens and ask for information about the expected current and temperature conditions.

The IES LM-80-08 standard describes the test methods and test report formats that LED manufacturers must follow. The IES standard does not evaluate data or publish appropriateness statements for any particular application. Other industry certifications. Performance standards such as ENERGY STAR® have been established and can be determined through published LM-80 test reports. The data for the white LUXEON Rebel Power LED clearly shows that its lumen maintenance performance far exceeds the ENERGY STAR requirements.
