Luminaires Testing and Certification

A lighting luminaire is a complete lighting unit designed to emit light effectively. It typically includes several components to ensure the proper functioning and installation of the light. These components include:

• Lamp (light source): The bulb or LED module that produces light
• Housing: The outer structure that holds and protects the internal components, often designed to be aesthetically pleasing
• Reflectors and Lenses: Used to direct, diffuse, or focus the light beam to achieve a specific lighting effect or pattern
• Electrical Components: Such as ballasts, drivers, wiring, and sockets needed to power the light source
• Mounting Mechanism: Brackets, clips, or other devices to install the luminaire on ceilings, walls, poles, or other surfaces
• Control Gear (optional): Components like dimmers, sensors, or smart controllers that manage the light's intensity or behavior

Luminaires are used in a variety of settings, from residential and commercial spaces to outdoor and industrial environments, and are designed to meet specific lighting needs, such as aesthetics, energy efficiency, or durability.
