levels and uniformity.
Site Defined Performance Method :
1. Perform lumen depreciation test as per LM-80-08 (or approved International equivalent) on
the light sources (s) (module/array) for a minimum of 6000 hours (longer testing period is
encouraged).
2. Use the LM-80-08 test data to extrapolate the lumen depreciation of the LED module/array
(lumen degradation at three temperatures) using a standard exponential decay curve as
below. This can be done by using any suitable software program.
L = L0e-αt
Where: L = light output at “t” hours

L0 = % of initial light output at 1000 hours
e = natural logarithm
-α = a solved constant.
t = time of data point
3. Identify the operating temperature of the LED installed in luminaire using the Ts point under
operating ambient temperature of 50oC. Use this in-luminaire LED module/array temperature
to interpolate a decay curve between the three extrapolated degradation curves derived
from LM-80 and above exponential decay curve.
4. From the above interpolated curve (Item-3), determine the luminaire lumen depreciation
(LLD) value and useful life that meets the needs of the site defined hours of operation to end
of useful life as well as the luminance levels and uniformity required.
5. The following are required:

optics must be declared.
 Standards and tests used must be stated.
 TM-21 Calculator is needed which runs after the LM-80-8 report for verifying life time
and failure rates at designated ambient and storage temperatures.
 TM-21 reported life time should be run for 10000 hr confirming Ts point used (coming
from ISTMT report at elevated ambient temp. of 50oC).
 Life time declaration should be L70 (10k) 60000 hr at ambient temp. of 50oC.

2.10. LIGHTING CALCULATIONS:

2.11. TYPE TESTS:
Complete type tests shall be carried out on the LED luminaire as per the latest IEC/BS EN 60598-1
