LM-79 Performance Testing of Lamps and Luminaries (On-Demand)

Description

This 60-minute on-demand webinar provides an overview of how UL supports the performance testing of lamps and luminaires using photometric testing. During the first part of the webinar, we will discuss the types of goniophotometers and the differences between relative and absolute photometry.  Then, we will review different types of photometric data and finally we discuss Energy Star Requirements.
