IESNA LM-79 (IES LM-79) primarily involves photometric performance testing. Since certain test items require the use of a distributed photometer to complete, most manufacturers are unable to produce a comprehensive report; this test is generally intended for manufacturers of complete lighting fixtures. The main test items include:

  IESNA LM-79

The IES LM-79 standard primarily covers photometric performance testing. Since certain test items require the use of a distributed photometer to complete, most manufacturers are unable to produce a comprehensive report; this test is generally intended for manufacturers of complete lighting fixtures. The main test items are as follows:

▪ Total luminous flux

▪ Luminous efficacy

▪ Luminous intensity distribution

▪ Correlated color temperature (CCT)

▪ Color Rendering Index (CRI)

▪ Chromaticity Coordinates (also known as Color Coordinates)

  ▪ Input AC (or DC) Voltage

▪ Input AC (or DC) Current

▪ Input Power (DC or AC)

▪ Input Voltage Frequency

▪ Power factor

  IESNA LM-80

1. Display index.

2. Initial value

  3. Luminous flux

4. Luminous flux maintenance rate

5. Luminous decay

6. 3 temperature test points

   TM21

  Provides methods for processing data measured according to LM80, primarily including the following:

▪ Presents a data fitting method using exponential functions.

▪ Presents a correction method for fitting the lifetime (70% lumen depreciation lifetime).

▪ Provides a detailed method for expressing lifetime.

▪ Provides an interpolation method for calculating lifetime at a given temperature.
