LED lamp inspection standards and methods
1. Appearance and structure inspection (visual inspection + measurement)
-
surface defects
-
0.5m visual inspection: The housing/lampshade has no deformation, scratches, paint peeling, or stains
-
The pins are straight without bending and there is no abnormal sound when shaking
-
-
Size compliance
-
Key dimensions (such as mounting hole spacing, outer diameter) ≤ drawing tolerance ±1mm
-
-
Materials and Assembly
-
Radiator material verification (6063 aluminum alloy preferred)
-
Screws are fully tightened (torque test), edge chamfering (R angle ≥ 0.5mm)
-
2. Performance Safety Verification (Instrument Testing)
Test items | Standard requirements | Detection tools |
---|---|---|
Temperature rise control | Aluminum substrate ≤ 65℃ (rated power + 40℃ environment) | Infrared thermal imager |
Overtemperature protection | Automatic power off at 95℃ | Constant temperature box + temperature recorder |
Circuit Protection | Built-in 3C/UL/VDE certified fuse | Disassembly and inspection certification mark |
Moisture resistance | Circuit board triple-conformal paint coating + waterproof breathable valve (IP54 level and above) | Salt spray test chamber (48h) |
Lighting efficiency requirements | ≥56 lumens/watt (LM/W) | Integrating sphere spectrum analyzer |
3. Reliability measurement (destructive test)
-
Switch life
-
60-second on/off cycle 5000 times → Functional (IEC 60598)
-
-
Durability
-
Under 60℃/60%RH environment 360 hours Continuous lighting → Luminous flux maintenance rate ≥85%
-
-
extreme environments
-
-25℃ Freeze for 96h → Lights up immediately without flickering
-
+40℃ baking for 96h → Luminous decay ≤5%
-
-
Overvoltage protection
-
Input voltage 120% rated value → The protection device is activated and automatically restarts after the voltage is restored
-
-
Drop test
-
With packaging 2 meters high drop in 8 directions → Structural integrity and normal function (ISTA-1A)
-
4. Optical performance testing (key parameters of integrating sphere)
parameter | definition | Eligible scope |
---|---|---|
Luminous flux (Φ) | Total luminous efficiency | ≥90% of nominal value |
Color rendering index (Ra) | Color reproduction authenticity | ≥80 (commercial) / ≥90 (high-end) |
Color temperature (CCT) | Light color (warm white/pure white/cool white) | Nominal value ±100K |
5. Packaging and Document Verification
-
Packaging specifications
-
Outer box printing: order number/net weight/gross weight/model number/barcode (100% pass scanning)
-
Warning signs: Moisture-proof/fragile signs in the correct direction
-
-
Document Verification
-
Compulsory certification : CNAS report (GB 7000.1)
-
Export certification : UL report (North America), CE+ENEC (EU), PSE (Japan)
-
Special attention items for third-party inspection companies
-
consistency spot check
-
Disassemble 3 products from the same batch and check whether the PCB solution/chip brand/capacitor specifications are consistent
-
-
Key parts traceability
-
The driver power supply must provide a UL certification number, and the LED chip must be verified by the original factory BIN record.
-
-
On-site limit testing
-
Simulate grid fluctuations (260V input) to verify no flicker
-
Blocking the heat dissipation holes triggers over-temperature protection (response time ≤ 3 seconds)
