Intematix announces lumen maintenance milestone for remote-phosphor LED system

The phosphor specialist has demonstrated what is essentially equivalent to LM-80 testing for packaged LEDs, with a sample set of remote-phosphor-based SSL modules being independently verified in delivering 100% of initial lumens over 6000 hours. Intematix has announced that independent test lab TUV SUD has conducted 6000-hour tests of some remote-phosphor-based solid-state lighting (SSL) modules that demonstrate 100% lumen maintenance over the duration of the testing. Essentially the demonstration is equivalent to the LM-80 testing of phosphor-converted white LEDs, which is the typical milestone that gates listing for SSL products in programs such as Energy Star and DesignLights Consortium (DLC).
