ANSI IES LM 82 Photobiological Testing of LED Packages
The ANSI/IES LM-82 standard is a critical benchmark for ensuring photobiological safety in light-emitting diode (LED) packages. This testing ensures that LEDs do not emit excessive amounts of blue light, which can potentially cause retinal damage or other health issues when exposed to high levels for extended periods.
The ANSI/IES LM-82 standard was introduced to address the growing concern about the photobiological safety of LED lighting products. It provides a method for determining the total radiant power output in the 400–750 nm wavelength range, which includes the most hazardous region for human exposure. This is particularly important as LEDs are increasingly used in consumer and commercial applications such as indoor lighting fixtures, traffic lights, and signages.
Testing according to ANSI/IES LM-82 involves measuring the radiant power emitted by LED packages across the specified wavelength range. The test apparatus includes a photometer with a spectral response that matches human visual sensitivity and a calibrated integrating sphere for accurate measurement of radiant power. Compliance testing ensures that products adhere to regulatory requirements, thereby protecting users from potential health risks.
The process begins with careful preparation of the LED package sample. This involves mounting the LED in a fixture that allows it to operate under controlled conditions. The fixture must be designed to minimize stray light and ensure accurate measurement of the emitted radiant power. Once the sample is prepared, it undergoes testing using an integrating sphere photometer capable of measuring spectral irradiance at multiple points across the 400–750 nm wavelength range.
The data collected from these measurements are then used to calculate the total radiant power output in the hazardous region. Compliance with ANSI/IES LM-82 is determined by comparing this calculated value against specified limits established in the standard. These limits vary depending on factors such as the type of LED package, its intended use, and the potential exposure duration.
In addition to compliance testing, Eurolab also offers advanced research services that go beyond basic regulatory requirements. Our experts can provide insights into how different design parameters affect photobiological safety, helping manufacturers optimize their products while minimizing risks.
