The Australian lighting market offers consumers thousands of LED options, but recent testing reveals significant variability in performance, quality, and information accuracy. This highlights the pressing need for precise, reliable measurement tools in the lighting industry.
The Department of Climate Change, the Environment, Energy and Water recently conducted rigorous in-house testing, as detailed in its report LED Lamp Performance: Results of in-house testing of lamps sampled from the Australian market. To achieve accurate and comprehensive results, the department relied on cutting-edge measurement technology from Viso Systems: the LightSpion. A total of 47 samples were tested, of which 4 were retested in an accredited lab with excellent reproducibility of results.
The LightSpion offers a simple, all-in-one measurement solution tailored for modern lighting needs. With its ability to deliver key metrics—Light Distribution, Lumen Output, Correlated Color Temperature (CCT), Color Rendering Index (CRI), and Flicker—in a single test, the LightSpion ensures unmatched precision and efficiency. This versatile tool empowers lighting professionals, manufacturers, and regulatory bodies to assess LED performance with confidence and ease.
For manufacturers, the LightSpion is an essential tool to validate product claims, streamline quality control, and build trust with customers. With the increasing importance of standards like the proposed LED Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) in Australia, having a reliable measurement system is no longer optional—it’s essential.
