Consumption
All products are put on a digital power meter to test that it is consuming the correct amount of power, checking for any electrical faults
Photometric Isolux Beam Pattern
Lights are tested in the Goniophotometer to model the beam pattern and depict the overall light output.
Vibration 15.6 G rms Rating
Products are placed on the vibration shock table with a vibration range of 25.6G for 4 hours to test that they can withstand the rated vibration standard. Products tested at 60 G rms are performed off-site.
EMI
Products are tested in a sealed chamber to ensure that they don’t introduce RF noise into electronics/radios.
High-Temperature & High Humidity
Operational Products are placed in a 60°C, 94% humidity chamber and left operational for 72 hours. Afterward, products are inspected for moisture, water drops, damaged LEDs, flickering LEDs, and more.
Long Term Durability
Products are then switched on and off 20,000 times repeatedly to ensure that they remain functional after all testing.
Submersion/Aging
Once products are assembled every product is run through a submersion (water dunk test), then placed onto an aging rack and powered up for 30 minutes to ensure proper operation.
Ingress High Pressure
Products are sprayed from close distances with 80~100 BAR water pressure to verify the Ingress Protection rating, ensuring they are sealed properly.
Thermal Impact Rapid Temperature Change
Products are placed in a -40°C chamber for 30 minutes, and then placed in °C chamber for an additional 30 minutes. Products are then run for 72 hours to ensure full operational status.
