Regulatory Submission

How do TEMPO measurements fit in?

This page outlines the measurements that TEMPO provides and the additional tests that you will need for regulatory submission.

ENERGY STAR Luminaires 1.1

TEMPO 24 reports provide:

IES LM-79-08 photometric report with integrated-sphere and goniophotometric data (including color angular uniformity)
In-situ test data

What you will need additionally:

Electrical-performance data
- Start-up time, run-up time, dimming, power factor, off-state power consumption, UUT operating frequency
Noise-test data
Transient-protection (ring wave) test data
EMI / RFI test data
Safety report
Color / lumen maintenance
- Option 1: LM-80 data, in-situ test data and TM-21 report
- Option 2: Run the actual luminaires through lifetime testing
