Page 13 Quality Criteria Mentioned In The IEC/PAS 1)rated input power (in W); 2)rated luminous flux (in lm); 3)LED luminaire efficacy (in lm/W); 4)luminous intensity distribution; 5)Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT in K); 6)rated Colour Rendering Index (CRI); 7)rated chromaticity co-ordinate values (initial and maintained); 8)maintained luminous flux Performance claims are always measured at a specific ambient temperature (t q ). Maintained values are measured at 25% of rated life time up to a max. of 6.000 hours.

Page 14 Photometric Code six digit photometric code displays important quality of light parameters initial CRI value of 84 – code 8; initial CCT value of 3000K – code 30; initial spread of chromaticity co-ordinates within a 3-step MacAdam ellipse – code 3; maintained spread of chromaticity co-ordinates within a 5-step MacAdam ellipse – code 5; maintained luminous flux of 91% – code 9. Maintained values are measured at 25% of rated life time up to a max. of 6.000 hours. 830/359

24. Page 24 Remember not to mix up Apples & Pears Fair comparison of initial performance of different LED luminaires: 1.ask for product specifications measured against an appropriate standard (e.g. IEC/PAS performance requirements). When considering performance over time of a LED luminaire: 1.forget about LM-80/TM-21 lumen maintenance data of LEDs used in a luminaire; 2.look for luminaire life based on lumen maintenance & abrupt failures of the complete LED luminaire or system.
