- Prototype testing is the next step in the compliance process. Manufacturers test a small batch of lighting units to verify safety, performance, and reliability. Electrical testing includes checks for overcurrent, insulation, and grounding effectiveness. Photometric testing evaluates brightness and light uniformity. Environmental testing examines heat tolerance, moisture resistance, and impact durability. Prototype testing ensures that potential defects are addressed before mass production.
- Lighting compliance testing also focuses on flicker and glare control. Excessive flicker can cause headaches, eye strain, and reduced productivity. Glare affects comfort and visibility in workplaces and public spaces. Testing measures flicker percentage, modulation index, and luminance distribution. Products that meet flicker and glare standards enhance user experience. Compliance ensures lighting is both safe and visually comfortable.
- The cost of compliance testing is an investment, not an expense. While testing may seem expensive, the potential cost of recalls, fines, and brand damage is far greater. Investing in compliance ensures product safety, performance, and market acceptance. Certified products command higher prices and customer trust. Compliance testing reduces long-term liabilities and strengthens business reputation. It is a proactive approach to sustainable business growth.
