IES Webinar – The Update of LM-79: Optical and Electrical Measurements of Solid State Lighting Products
August 19th | 12:00 PM ET
In 2008 the IES published LM-79, “Approved Method: Electrical and Photometric Measurements of Solid-State Lighting Products.” This measurement standard for solid-state lighting products quickly became the world recognized standard for measuring LED lighting products. Last year the IES Test Procedures Committee (TPC) completed a comprehensive review and revision of LM-79. Last fall, the revision was published as ANSI/IES LM-79, “Approved Method: Optical and Electrical Measurements of Solid-State Lighting Products.” The revision includes better guidance on how to make measurement and requirements that help to reduce measurement variations between different testing facilities. Consideration for these changes was based on information collected from NVLAP proficiency testing, independent research, and an effort to help minimize the burden on testing laboratories.
Webinar participants are eligible for one (1) IES Continuing Education Unit (CEU).
