Thermal Testing

Thermal Imaging Camera

Thermal Imaging Cameras are used to ensure correct operation and thermal management of LED products. Thermal management is essential for LED products to prevent limited lamp life and lumen depreciation.

Extreme Electrical Conditions Testing

These tests are carried out on each batch of our LED lamps in line with EN 62560:2012. All of our electrical safety tests are carried out after the lamps have aged at 35°C and 95% relative humidity in our environmental chamber.
