LM-79 and LM-80 Testing Services at Sonax Enterprises.
LM-79 and LM-80 are IES test methods for determining the photometric and lumen maintenance of LED luminaires. These tests are important to both the producers and users of LEDs to check conformity to certain criteria and performance reliability.
LM-79: This standard measures such electrical and photometric characteristics of LED products including the lumen, color rendering, and efficiency among others. It is normally performed on fully built LED fixtures to determine their effectiveness.
LM-80: This standard provides the method that measures the long-term lumen maintenance of LED light sources, including LED packages, modules, and arrays. It is useful to establish how much light an LED will output in the future and therefore how long it will last.
Our Testing Services include LM-79 and LM-80.
At Sonax Enterprises, we provide our customers with LM-79 and LM-80 testing solutions that ensure manufacturers attain the requisite standards set in the market. Our services cover:
LM-79 Testing: The laboratory of our company examines LED products in terms of luminous flux, color rendering index, beam spread, and power consumption. This gives a picture of how the product worked in the initial stage, which is helpful to the manufacturers to display effectiveness.
LM-80 Testing: To determine the lumen depreciation of LED packages, modules, or arrays, we perform a rather long-duration test. This test is normally done together with temperature data to estimate the useful life of the LED.

Process of LM-79 and LM-80 Testing
- Pre-Testing Consultation: First of all, we assess the product requirements and target audience to define the precise testing requirements for LM-79 or LM-80.
- Sample Preparation: Products are made to IES standards. For LM-79, a whole fixture is evaluated whereas for LM-80, it is LEDs packaged or in modules.
Conducting Tests:
- LM-79: We measure the photometric, electrical, and colorimetric properties in a laboratory environment in order to fully characterize the LED.
- LM-80: The lumen maintenance of LED samples is evaluated over time intervals at specific temperatures.
- Reporting and Certification: After testing, we give a report of the findings made; this includes the performance characteristics, patterns noticed, and any recommendations made.
Details of LM-79 and LM-80 Testing.
- Product Quality Assurance: LM-79 and LM-80 tests give the product certifications that help manufacturers to prove the quality and reliability of their product.
- Market Competitiveness: This makes certification in accordance with LM-79 and LM-80 standards beneficial and can provide a certain advantage in a competitive market.
- Regulatory Compliance: Some areas and organizations demand LM-79 and LM-80 certifications, and most often, when using LEDs in governmental projects or energy-efficient projects.
Document Requirements
For accurate and compliant testing, the following documentation is generally required:
Product Specifications: Information about the LED product including the design, power capacity, and application of the LED product.
Sample Submission: Sample to be taken for physical tests as per the test requirement:
LM-79: Fully assembled LED fixtures.
LM-80: LED package, module, or array which forms the product line.
Operational Standards: Any special features that the LED product intends to meet in the standard or certification aspect.
Test History: Any documents that can help to support or change the current testing or certifications related to the current process.
At Sonax Enterprises, you will get the right, fast and reliable LM-79 and LM-80 testing services that will assist in preparing your LED products for market competition.
