QUALITY OF LIGHT

LED Lighting performance data comes in many forms. Diode LED relies on LM-79 Reports and TM-30 Metrics for photometric and performance evaluation of solid-state lighting products. The data is presented in a standardized and regulated formula by IES, the Illumination Engineering Society. This data covers many specifications including the items mentioned below.

Diode LED tape light is available in a wide variety of color temperatures, able to accurately replicate everything from traditional incandescent lighting to natural daylight. At every color temperature, Diode LED tape light is engineered for precise, true-to-life color rendering. Sources with poor color rendering will cause objects to appear dull and unsaturated or overly saturated and unnatural. Strict manufacturing processes and rigorous testing, outlined below, are used to guarantee that colors are rendered vibrantly and true.

PHOSPHOR APPLICATION. Phosphor Injection creates the most precise photometric output with state-of-the-art technology and yields less waste than traditional spray-coat methods.

QUALITY CHECK. LEDs are inspected by engineers for physical or electrical flaws and irregularities before the sorting process begins.

SORTING & BINNING. Each LED chip is sorted and measured by high-precision cameras and computer systems to collect LEDs into batches for accuracy of Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) and Color Rendering Index (CRI) measurements.
