WHY LED FOR GENERAL LIGHTING
THE LED DIFFERENCE
LED lighting technology excels in almost all performance parameters
over existing lighting technologies, such as fluorescent lamp,
incandescent lamp, etc.
The technology continues to improve.

WHY STANDARDIZATION FOR
LED LIGHTING
CONSUMER AWARENESS AND CONFIDENCE
 Weak public awareness of the benefits and
performances of LED lighting
 Great variance in supplier / product performance is
turning away consumers
 Weak correlation to existing Lighting solutions
INDUSTRY ADAPTATION AND MEASUREMENTS
 Weak correlation to existing Lighting solutions
 Weak in product standardization
 New performance parameters / characteristics need
new measurement methods
 Great variance in supplier / product performance need
standard and agreed measurement methods
