Quality Benchmarks for LED Luminaires

Course Summary

LED luminaires have great potential for long life, low maintenance, and reduced energy consumption as compared to legacy lighting technologies. The component architecture of LED luminaires, however, creates new selection criteria. This presentation discusses industry benchmarks for LED luminaire quality including useful fixture life, serviceability, and performance.
