ANSI/IES LM-80-21 — Scope and starting point

Flux maintenance measurement for LED packages, arrays and modules; not a complete-luminaire lifetime guarantee..

Methodology & limitations

Source-based engineering guidance; not an LEDPedia laboratory test. Numerical examples are illustrative calculations, not measured product performance.

Scope and starting point

Flux maintenance measurement for LED packages, arrays and modules; not a complete-luminaire lifetime guarantee.

Selection notes

Check the exact color bin, drive current, junction temperature and footprint. Package dimensions are not the light-emitting surface. Compare flux or efficacy only at equivalent current, temperature, CCT and CRI; confirm soldering and optical compatibility separately.

Keep a reproducible record

Save the complete part number, source revision, operating point and the reason for each decision. Keep calculated examples separate from observed results. A measurement report needs its sample identifier, instrument and calibration details, stabilization, ambient conditions, raw record and uncertainty statement. Do not replace a missing value with zero or a typical value with a guaranteed limit.
