Spanish version LM-79-19 download: ANSI/IES LM-79-19 Mediciones Fotométricas y Eléctricas de Productos de Iluminación de Estado Sólido (SSL)

ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and IES(Illuminating Engineering Society of North America) officially released the latest version of the IES LM-79-19 standard in May 2019, it will replace the LM-79-08 version. LISUN interpreted the new standard as follows:

1.   Test Environment (4.2.1 / 4.3 / 4.7 on Page 2 / Page 3 / Page 4 of the standard)
      1.1  Ambient Temperature:25℃±1.2℃
      1.2  Humidity: 10%-65%
      1.3  Airflow: 0.2m/s
