Quality Control at BELL
Circuit Overload Testing
Circuit Overload Testing and Circuit Wattage Tests are performed on product batches to ensure safety and compliance to EN60598.
Dimmer Compatibility Testing
Extensive Dimmer Compatibility Testing is performed on all LED products to ensure smooth dimming against the leading dimmers used in the industry.
Needle Flame and Glow Wire Testing
The Needle Flame Test is used to ensure that all insulating parts are flame retardant. The Glow Wire Test is performed on all lamps and fixtures to ensure that construction materials are self-extinguishing.
Photometric Sphere Testing
This tests all light output data, including lumens, spectrum, colour temperature, power factor and actual power. This allows our business to provide accurate data across our product range.
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.
Torque Testing
A calibrated Torque Test is carried out on all lamps to ensure products retain cap strength before and after life testing.
