Philips Lumileds announced today that it is the first power LED manufacturer to publicly publish LM-80 test report data for use by luminaire manufacturers evaluating the merits of using different LEDs in their solid-state lighting solutions. The data clearly demonstrates that lumen maintenance performance exceeds ENERGY STAR requirements by a wide margin as well as documenting lumen maintenance performance under various conditions. The test report is posted on the company’s web site www.philipslumileds.com.

Philips Lumileds LM-80 test reports adhere to and are published in accordance with the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) LM-80-08 standard. “LUXEON Rebel's lumen maintenance clearly leads the industry. Using our LM-80 reports helps system designers meet ENERGY STAR® eligibility criteria and optimize solutions for a desired lumen maintenance level,” said Steve Barlow, Executive VP of Sales and Marketing for Philips Lumileds. “These reports are just one of the many tools we make available in order to simplify the development and production of LED luminaires and we encourage other manufacturers to follow our lead to help simplify and accelerate solid-state lighting market development.”

Lumen maintenance performance of LEDs varies significantly from manufacturer to manufacturer due to differences in materials and manufacturing processes. Philips Lumileds has been studying the factors that affect power LED lumen maintenance longer than any other manufacturer in an ongoing effort to improve performance and more accurately describe lumen maintenance behavior for the lighting community.
