Having explored in my last post how we designed a source with very high fidelity, I would now like to discuss in more detail another class of so-called “color-enhancing” light sources. Today, I will make some general statements about this concept, and in a follow-up-post I will talk more specifically about how Soraa products uniquely deliver this enhancing experience.

The Indian government should make manufacturing standards for LED lights applied in Prakash Path Yojana (PPY) mandatory, The Economics Times cited a Philips spokesperson saying.

The lack of LED standards is still a big issue, and users do not always understand the LED terminology jargon, which often leads to dissatisfied consumer experiences, said WhichLEDLight’s Commercial Director Rory Wilding in a recent interview with LEDinside.

Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important in an energy-strapped world, according to a Dazhaoming.com report. LEDs are being recognized as the next generation green lights for its advantages in energy efficiency, environmental friendliness and long lifetimes. Countries are increasingly focused on the LED lighting industry, with many countries launching related regulations or standards.

Product testing and certification laboratory DEKRA has recently released new international LED luminaire and lighting standards to be released next year. For details please see below:

China’s Standardization Administration has issued three new LED luminaire standards.

Product testing and ceritifcation organization DEKRA outlines some of the recent changes in Mexico and Australia's LED standards.

A bureau under Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs announced Tuesday, LED bulbs in the country will be required to undergo mandatory tests starting next month, according to a CNA report.

The lighting industry in China is not short of standards, but emerging new standards in various regions is seriously wasting resources. “China has put too much focus on LED product standards, while overlooking basic standard systems,” said Chen Yansheng, President of China Association of Lighting Industry. “This has been the root of confusion within the Chinese lighting industry.”
