Lighting performance laboratory

Lighting product testing.

Electrical safety, photometric, photobiological and EMC evidence for luminaires and light sources.

A system, not only a lamp

Light output, driver behaviour and thermal design must be assessed together.

A good lighting programme explains how safely the product operates and whether its declared optical performance is credible.

We fix the luminaire configuration, driver, control mode, mounting position and stabilisation conditions before measurement. That gives safety, EMC and photometric results a common technical basis.

Typical products
Indoor, outdoor, portable, smart and industrial luminaires
Risk focus
Shock, heat, fire, optical hazard and unstable output
Scope drivers
Mounting, driver, optics, controls and environment
Useful evidence
Safety files, performance claims and energy programmes
Optical fingerprint

Turn emitted light into defensible data.

Optical measurements are stabilised and tied to the exact driver, dimming state, temperature and mounting condition used during the test.

Testing coverage

Safety and visible performance measured on the same configuration.

The final scope is confirmed against the product construction, selected standard, market and representative sample configuration.

01 / Safety

Electrical & thermal safety

Construction, protection and temperature performance in the intended mounting condition.

  • Electric-shock protection
  • Heating and abnormal operation
  • Ingress and material resistance
02 / Light

Photometric performance

Controlled measurement of output, distribution, colour and declared lighting performance.

  • Luminous flux and efficacy
  • CCT, CRI and chromaticity
  • Intensity distribution
03 / Optical risk

Photobiological safety

Assessment of optical radiation exposure and relevant risk-group classification.

  • Blue-light hazard
  • UV and retinal exposure
  • Viewing distance and labelling
04 / Control

EMC, flicker & controls

Electrical behaviour of drivers, dimming interfaces and connected lighting modes.

  • Emissions and immunity
  • Flicker and stroboscopic effects
  • Dimming and smart-control states
Standards & requirements

Requirements matched to luminaire type, mounting and declared performance.

We identify the applicable edition and product-specific clauses before the laboratory programme is fixed.

Safety
IEC / EN 60598 series

General and particular safety requirements selected by luminaire construction and intended installation.

Optical
CIE, IES & IEC methods

Photometric, colour, flicker and photobiological measurement approaches for declared performance.

EMC & energy
CISPR 15 / IEC 61547 and regional rules

Disturbance, immunity, efficiency and market-specific lighting performance obligations.

A controlled laboratory path

From product definition to usable evidence.

Each phase has a clear decision point, helping prevent unnecessary tests and avoid ambiguity in the final report.

  1. 01
    Define

    Map requirements

    Confirm intended use, variants, market, standard and documentation needs.

  2. 02
    Prepare

    Fix the configuration

    Agree representative samples, accessories, ratings and operating modes.

  3. 03
    Verify

    Run the programme

    Complete the agreed checks and communicate material findings as they arise.

  4. 04
    Evidence

    Issue the report

    Organise conclusions and results for engineering or market-access use.

Representative work

Lighting programmes that connect safety with what the user experiences.

Examples of how testing can be structured around different products, configurations and market objectives.

LED luminaire test
LED luminaire family

Safety and optical baseline

Representative models selected across driver, wattage and enclosure variations.

Smart lighting test
Connected lighting

Dimming, flicker and EMC scope

Wireless and control states documented before functional, EMC and optical measurements.

Outdoor luminaire test
Outdoor luminaire

Environmental safety programme

Ingress, temperature, construction and photometric evidence aligned to the installation condition.

Start with the right scope

Define the mounting and control state before measuring the light.

Share the product specification, target market and any existing reports. We will help define the next practical testing step.
