LED spotlights technical standards

　　LED spotlights stage , the main alternative to traditional halogen -based, with reference to the relevant safety requirements are mostly traditional lighting requirements and the characteristics of LED lights , forming a safety certification standards. Currently, certification of LED spotlights , a major international European CE and UL certification in North America , mainly in China can be voluntary certification (CQC).

　　In CE LVD and EMC certification contains two aspects, which LVD is executed ( the upgrade IEC 62560) in accordance with the EN60968 standard ; EMC according to EN55015, EN61547, EN61000-3-2 and EN61000-3-3 standards. In addition , LED lights typically requires additional reference to IEC 62471, optical bio- safety tests. In North America, generally require FCC UL safety and EMC certification . UL Standard for the UL1993, UL8750 and UL1310; FCC implementation of standards for FCC PART15 Subpart B. In China , the LED spotlight is the use of voluntary certification (CQC), the implementation of standards of GB24906-2010 ( safety ) and GB 17743-2007 ( electromagnetic compatibility ) .

　　In addition, in terms of performance LED spotlights , there are many standards. U.S. Energy Star (ENERGY STAR) related requirements ; China has energy certification requirements, implementation of standards for CQC 3129-2010. These requirements are for the LED spotlights color temperature, color rendering index , the initial luminous flux, luminous efficiency, lumen maintenance , life, center light intensity, nominal power , power factor, etc. of the product identification requirements .

　　Life is broken in many electronic products to judge , but a very long life LED light source can be used for a long time are not bad . However, the output flux but it will decay over time , it is often the industry's failure to run out of time required for 70% to define life LED light source , namely L70. As technology advances , LED light decline more slowly , to fully test the light fades to 70 % of the time it is difficult to achieve.
