LED standards published in the US

发布时间：2010/08/10

The ongoing controversy relating to Energy Star requirements for LED-based fixtures (see numerous articles) should not deflect from the excellent and rapid progress that has been made in developing standards for LED-based products in the US.
Back in April 2007, LEDs Magazine published an article by Kevin Dowling of Color Kinetics (now Philips), entitled "Standards required for further penetration of solid state lighting". The article described various ongoing projects to develop standards covering chromaticity, luminous flux measurement, lumen depreciation (lifetime), color quality, SSL definitions, electrical and photo biological safety, and more.
The article also included a section describing the DOE's progress towards introducing Energy Star requirements. This work will come to fruition when the DOE's criteria for Energy Star for SSL come into effect on September 30.
The DOE's Energy Star criteria draw from, and are directly related to, several of the standards that were described in Dowling's article. Of these standards, C78.377 (chromaticity) and LM-79 (luminous flux measurement) have now been published.
