Luminaires Testing at TACS Laboratories

TACS Laboratories recently added on to the scope, testing of luminaires.

We do testing of Luminairs such as:

Fixed general-purpose lights for indoor and outdoor use
Recessed Luminaires for indoor and outdoor use
Luminaires for Road and Street lighting
Portable general-purpose luminaires
Floodlights
Portable luminaires for garden use
Portable luminaires for children
Handlamps
Photo and film luminaires (Non-professional)
Aquarium luminaires
Mains socket-outlet mounted nightlights
Ground Recessed luminaires
Luminaires for stage lighting, television and film studios (Outdoor and Indoor)
Luminaires for swimming-pools and similar applications
Air-handling luminaires (safety requirements)
Lighting chains
Sealed lighting chains
Luminaires for emergency lighting
Luminaires with limited surface temperature

Type of Tests/Properties Measured, Range of Measurement on Luminaires include the following:

Luminaires classification and markings
Luminaires construction
Photobiological hazards (UV radiation and Retinal light hazard)
External and internal wiring of luminaires
Provision for earthing
Protection against electric shock
Resistance to dust, solid objects and moisture
Insulation resistance
Electric Strength
Touch current and Protective conductor current
Creepage distance and clearance
Endurance test and thermal test
Resistance to heat, fire and tracking
Terminals and electrical connections
Power factor tests
Photometric Measurements on SSL Products

Test Standards

Lumiaires

IEC/SANS 60598-1 and all related part two’s, SANS 475, SANS 1464-22, IEC/SANS 60598-2-22, IEC/SANS 60529, VC8055, VC9012 etc.

Photometric Measurements inside the Sphere to generate the lumen output

Rain simulator. We are accredited to all the IP ratings (IPX1 and IPX2)

Photo Biological safety testing on the LED luminaires. Photobiological hazards (UV radiation and Retinal light hazard). Latest testing requirement in the LED standard
