SOLUTIONS FOR THE LAMPS & LUMINAIRES INDUSTRYBRING CLEANER, GREENER, LAMPS AND LIGHT BULBS TO MARKETWITH GLOBAL TESTING AND CERTIFICATION FROM SGS

ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS LAMPS & LUMINAIRES

FROM THE LIGHT BULB TO LED

The rapid development of LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) has radically changed the lighting market.

LEDs offer numerous benefits - longer lifespan, low power consumption, non-toxic composition, rapid lighting response; they also offer multiple applications, are recyclable and considered environment friendly.

LEDs are currently used for a wide variety of different applications in the lighting sector such as: architectural lighting, desk lamps, reading & night lights, security lights, spot lights, accent lights and lighting for signage.

Whether for indoor outdoor use, LEDs today are increasingly being integrated into

lighting solutions for both residential and professional applications.

ACCESS TO THE MARKET

Energy efficiency and the environmental compatibility of production and disposal are not the only criteria that need to be met. Regional, national and international regulations also include safety, distribution photometry, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), hazardous substances, performance and lifespan.
