LM-79 Photometry
Quanta has been tested by a recognized independent photometric laboratory in accordance with testing procedures LM-79-2008 from the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA).
This describes the methods for testing SSL products for their photometric characteristics such as total luminous flux (lumens), luminous efficacy (lm/W), luminous intensity (candelas) in one or more directions, chromaticity coordinates, correlated color temperature (CCT) and color rendering index (CRI).
For the most part, LM-79 describes test methods for total luminous flux measurement. More specifically, LM-79 recognizes absolute, rather than relative photometry.
Life
Quanta was designed for longevity by incorporating key factors into its design that favor cool and stable operation over time. An efficient dissipation of heat from LEDs coupled with a lower drive current (450mA) and Quanta’s smart electronic monitoring of LEDs ensures a reliable and durable product. All of this translates into an impressive operational life of over 50,000 hours.
Quanta uses only LEDs from recognized chipmakers with published lumen depreciation LM-80 data.
