FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Electric Lamps and Their Auxiliaries Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council.

This standard specifies the performance requirements for self ballasted lamps for general lighting services for supplies > 50 V a.c. up to 250 V a.c at 50 Hz.;

This standard is published in two parts. The other part in the series is: Part 1 Safety requirements

This standard was first published in 2012. Revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with latest development in this fileld.

There will be and are already LED products in the market which substitute existing lamps, either as retrofit mains voltage incandescent or self ballasted fluorescent lamps or as replacement for tungsten halogen lamps below 50 V.

This standard is based on IEC 62612 ‘Self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting services for voltage above 50 V — Performance requirements’ issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) with following modifications:

a) Made applicable for supplies > 50 V a.c. up to 250 V a.c. at 50 Hz.;

b) Schedule of type test and acceptance test has been incorporated; c) Ambient test condition changed to 27°C;

d) Selection of samples incorporated;

e) Conditions of compliances incorporated; f) In Table 2 data related chromaticity co-ordinates and CCT values for 5 700 K added;

g) Requirements of harmonics and p.f. have been added; and

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

SELF-BALLASTED LED LAMPS FOR GENERAL LIGHTING SERVICES

PART 2 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

(First Revision)

Last date for receipt of comments is 25-09-2015

1 SCOPE

This standard (Part 2) specifies the performance requirements for self-ballasted LED lamps with supplies > 50 V a.c. up to 250 V a.c at 50Hz , together with the test methods and conditions, required to show compliance with this standard, intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes, having,

a) a rated wattage from 1W to 25W ;

b) a rated supplies > 50 V a.c. up to 250 V a.c.at 50Hz and

c) a lamp cap according to IS 16102(Part 1) : 2012 ‘Self-ballasted LED lamps for general

lighting services: Part 1 Safety requirements’.

This standard does not cover self-ballasted LED-lamps that produce tinted or coloured light.

This standard covers LED lamps that intentionally produce white light, based on inorganic

LEDs.

The only feature provided by this standard, when applied for replacement purposes, is

information on maximum lamp outlines.

These performance requirements are additional to the requirements given in IS 16102 (Part 1).

NOTES

1 When operated in a luminaire the claimed performance data can deviate from the values established in this standard e.g. Due to

luminaire components that impact the performance of the lamp.

2 Higher wattage lamp is under consideration.

The life time of LED lamps is in most cases much longer than the practical test times.

Consequently, verification of manufacturer’s life time claims cannot be made in a sufficiently

confident way, because projecting test data further in time is not standardised. For that reason

the acceptance or rejection of a manufacturer's life time claim, past an operational time is out of

the scope of this standard.

Instead of life time validation, this standard has opted for lumen maintenance codes at a defined

finite test time. Therefore, the code number does not imply a prediction of achievable life time.

2

The categories, represented by the code, are lumen-depreciation character categories showing

behaviour in agreement with manufacturer’s information, provided before the test is started. In order to validate a life time claim, several methods of test data extrapolation exist. A general

method of projecting measurement data beyond limited test time is under consideration.

The pass/fail criterion of the life time test as defined in this standard is different from the life

time metrics claimed by manufacturers.

NOTE — When the lamps are used in the luminaire, the ambient temperature inside the luminaire is expected to be higher than the room

ambient temperature. The procedure for design and measurement is covered in IS 10322 (Part 1).

3 TERMINOLOGY

The definitions given in IS 16101, IS 1885 (Part 16/ Sec 1) and the following shall apply.

3.1 Rated Value — Quantity value for a characteristic of a LED lamp for specific operating conditions. The value and the conditions are specified in this standard, or assigned by the manufacturer or responsible vendor.

3

3.2 Test Voltage — Voltage at which tests are carried out.

Note : Specification of test voltage is made in Annex-A.

3.3 Lumen Maintenance (Lx) (of an LED lamp)/ luminous flux maintenance — luminous

flux at a given time in the life of a led lamp divided by the initial value of the luminous flux of

the lamp and expressed as a percentage x of the initial luminous flux.

NOTE — The lumen maintenance of a LED lamp is the effect of decrease of the lumen output of the LED(s) or a combination of this

with failure(s) of LED(s) if the lamp contains more than one LED.

3.4 Initial Values — Photometric, colorimetric and electrical characteristics at the end of the ageing period and/or stabilization time.

3.5 Life (of an Individual LED Lamp) Lx — Length of time during which a LED lamp

provides more than claimed percentage of the initial luminous flux, under standard test

conditions. A LED lamp has thus reached its end of life, when it no longer provides claimed

percentage of the initial luminous flux. Life is always published in combination of with the

failure rate (see Note 4 and Clause 3.7).

NOTES –

1 LED lamps have a different end of life characteristic than conventional lamps, because typically they rather will dim over time in a

gradual way than being subject to sudden lamp failure. Lumen maintenance is the governing characteristic for lifetime of LED lamps.

2 The built-in control gear and LED’s (with a certain probability), however, may show a sudden end of life failure (see 3.7).

3 The maximum reduction of lumen maintenance may vary depending on the application of the LED lamp: This standard uses a

value of 70 percent (L70) as an example. Dedicated information on the chosen percentage is to be provided by the manufacturer.

4 End of lamp life is normally determined when 50 percent of the lamps failed, indicated in combination with the chosen lumen

maintenance, for example: L70, F50. For professional applications, the combined value L70, F10 is advised, meaning maximum 10

percent of the lamps has failed when the point of 70 percent lumen maintenance has been reached.

3.6 Rated Lamp Life (h) — Length of time during which a population of LED lamp provides more than claimed percentage of the rated luminous flux, published in combination with the failure rate, as declared by the manufacturer or responsible vendor.

NOTES

1 For sample size, see 17.

2 Notes 1, 2 and 4 of 3.5 shall apply.

3.7 Failure Fraction (Fx)— The percentage x of a number of tested lamps of the same type, that have reached the end of their individual lives. For marking of the failure fraction (see Table 1).

NOTES

1 For self-ballasted LED lamps, the failure fraction expresses the combined effect of all components of an LED lamp including

mechanical components, as far as the light output is concerned. The effect of the LED could either be less light than claimed or no

light at all.

2 For self-ballasted LED lamps normally a failure fraction of 10 percent or/and 50 percent are being applied, indicated as F10

and/or F50.

3.8 Photometric Code — Colour designation of a LED lamp giving white light as defined by the correlated colour temperature (CCT) and the colour rendering index.

Attached to this, information is given on CCT tolerance category and life time category.

4

NOTES

1 An example of the construction of the colour code is given in Annex-C.

2 The term general colour rendering index (CRI) is referred to CIE. The term colour rendering index designates one digit derived

from the CRI (see Annex-C).

3.9 Stabilization Time — Time which the LED lamp requires to obtain stable Photometric conditions with constant electrical input for each measurement.

Note – An LED lamp may be regarded as stable at stable thermal conditions.

3.10 Ageing — Preconditioning period of the LED-lamps before initial values are taken.

3.11 Type — LED lamp, representative of the production.

3.12 Type Test — Test or series of tests made on a type test sample for the purpose of

checking compliance of the design of a given product with the requirements of the relevant

standard

3.13 Type Test Sample — Sample consisting of one or more similar units submitted by the manufacturer or responsible vendor for the purpose of the type test.

3.14 Acceptance Test — Tests carried out on samples taken from a lot for the acceptance of the lot.

3.15 Batch — All the lamps of one type put forward at one time for acceptance test.

3.16 Inspection Test Quantity (ITQ) — The number of lamps selected for the purpose of determining the acceptability of a batch as to safety requirements given in Part 1 of this standard.

3.17 Rating Test Quantity (RTQ) — The number of lamps selected for the purpose of determining the acceptability of a batch as to initial readings and colour.

3.18 Life Test Quantity (LTQ) — The number of lamps selected for the purpose of determining the acceptability of a batch as to life performance

3.19 maintained value - Photometric, colorimetric and electrical characteristics at an

operational time, including stabilisation time.

3.20 Family - Group of LED lamps that have same design characteristics, distinguished by

common features of materials, components, and/or method of processing.

3.21 LED lamp efficacy - Quotient of the luminous flux emitted by the power consumed by

the LED lamp

Note 1 to entry: Efficacy is expressed in lm/W.

3.22 LED die - Block of semi-conducting material on which a given functional circuit is

fabricated

3.28 Beam angle - The angle between two imaginary lines in a plane through the optical

beam axis, such that

these lines pass through the centre of the front face of the lamp and through points at which

the luminous intensity is 50 % of the centre beam intensity.

F 2700, P 2700, F 3000, F 3500, F 4000, F 5000 or F 6500

For reference purposes, the standardized chromaticity co-ordinates and CCT values corresponding to these colours are given in IS 2418 (Part 2).

The chromaticity of a LED lamp is measured both initially and maintained after an operation time of 25 percent of rated lamp life (with a maximum duration of 6 000 h). The measured actual chromaticity values both initial ( See Table 5 and 6 ) and maintained ( See Table 7) are expressed as fitting within one of these categories , corresponding to particular color tolerances around the rated colour as indicated by the manufacturer or responsible vendor. For colour marking requirements (see Table 1).

To comply with this standard, the measured initial colour variation of each LED lamp in the sample shall be within the rated colour category (Either Table 5or 6) and maintained colour variation in the sample shall be within tolerance as per Table 7. A tolerance category shall be assigned according to the MacAdam ellipse size or quadrangle size that includes (circumscribes) the chromaticity co-ordinates of all LED lamps in the tested sample.

Note - This standard applies mainly to retrofit LED lamps for which it is important that the chromaticity corresponds as much as possible to the lamps to be replaced. Tolerance areas are based on the CIE 1931 MacAdam ellipses/Ellipses defined by macadam published in the journal of the optical society of America 1943, as normally applied for (compact) fluorescent lamps and other discharge lamps. 12.2 CRI The initial colour rendering index (CRI) of an LED lamp is measured and a second measurement is made after a total operation time of 25 percent of rated lamp life (with a maximum duration of 6 000 h). To comply with this standard, all measured initial CRI values from the sample LED lamps shall be greater than or equal to the rated CRI value (see Table 1) less 3 points and all measured maintained CRI values (at 25 percent of rated lamp life with a maximum duration of 6 000 h) shall be greater than or equal to the rated CRI value less 5 points (see Table 1). For method of measurement refer to IS 16106.

Life of a self-ballasted LED lamp as defined in 3.5 is the combined result of the lumen maintenance performance (see 3.1) and the life of the built-in control gear and the LED(s) itself (see 13.2). An indication for the reliability and life of the control gear is attained by an endurance test (see 13.2). Both elements are tested.

Reference is made to the definitions of 3.5 and 3.6, describing the indicated percentage of tested lamps of a total batch (F50 or F10) that may fail the requirements of the tests under 13.1 and 13.2.

For marking of rated life (see Table 1).

13.1 Lumen Maintenance

This standard has opted for lumen maintenance categories that cover the initial decrease in lumen until 25 percent of rated lamp life has elapsed with a maximum duration of 6 000 h, see Fig. 1. Based on the life definition (L70) there are three categories each covering an additional 10 percent of lumen maintenance compared to the initial lumen output at 0 h as given in Table 8.

NOTES

1 As the typical life of a self-ballasted LED lamp is (very) long, it is within the scope of this standard regarded unpractical and time

consuming to measure the actual lumen reduction over life (L70). For that reason this standard relies on approximation methods to

determine the expected life (L70) of any self-ballasted LED lamp.

The actual LED behaviour with regard to lumen maintenance may differ considerably per type and per manufacturer. It is not

possible to express the lumen maintenance of all LED’s in simple mathematical relations. A fast initial decrease in lumen output does

not automatically imply that a particular LED will not make its rated life.

2 Compliance of lumen maintenance after 25 percent of life time or 6 000 h implies that the lamps would have a nominal life of 25 000 h.

BISDG: Comments invited on specifying Minimum Life for Lamp. The initial luminous flux shall be measured, which measurement is repeated at 25 percent of rated lamp life (with a maximum duration of 6 000 h). The initial luminous flux value is normalized to 100 percent; it is used as the first data point for determining lamp life. The measured luminous flux value at rated lamp life (with a maximum duration of 6 000 h) shall be expressed as a percentage of the initial value.

Measurement of lumen maintenance shall be carried out at 1000 h, 2000 h and at 25% of rated life with a maximum of 6 000 h. Corresponding lumen maintenance value shall be 95% and 90% of rated luminous flux at 1000 h and 2000 h respectively. Lumen maintenance at 25% of rated life with a maximum of 6 000 h shall be declared by the manufacturer.

NOTE — This will give additional insight as to the reliability of the measured values.

For marking of the lumen maintenance (Lx) and lumen maintenance categories (see Table 1).

A self-ballasted LED lamp is considered having passed the test when the following criteria have been met (see Fig. 1):

a) The measured flux value at 25 percent of rated lamp life (with a maximum duration of 6 000 h) shall never be less than the maximum lumen maintenance related to the rated life (L70) as defined and provided by the manufacturer or responsible vendor.

b) The measured lumen maintenance shall correspond with the lumen maintenance category as defined and provided by the manufacturer or responsible vendor: Cat 7 to Cat 9 for L70. ( See Table 8) The lumen maintenance figure may vary depending on the application of the LED lamp. This

standard applies a minimum value of 70 %. Dedicated information on the chosen percentage

should be provided by the manufacturer.

13.2 Endurance Test for Built-in Electronic Ballast Since a self-ballasted LED lamp is a unit, which cannot be dismantled without being permanently damaged, the built-in control gear has to be tested as part of a LED lamp.

13.2.1 LED lamps shall be subjected to a temperature cycling test, and a supply voltage-switching and accelerated operational life test as follows: Note – All tests can be carried out in parallel with different LED lamps.

13.2 Endurance Test for Built in Electronic Ballast Since a Self-Ballasted LED lamp is unit , which cannot be dismantled without being permanently damaged , the built in control gear has to be tested as a part of LED lamp. 13.2.1 LED lamps shall be subjected to Temperature Cycling Test and Supply switching test as follows :

13

a) Temperature cycling test

Temperature cycling test according IS 11000 Part 14 ( Sec 1 to 3) shall be checked with

specified rate of change .

The LED lamp is placed in a test chamber in which the temperature is varied from –10 °C to

+50 °C over a 4 h period and for a test duration of 250 periods (1 000 h). A 4 h period

consists of 1 h holding at each extreme temperature and 1 h transfer time (1 K/min) between

the extreme temperatures. The LED lamp is switched on at test voltage for 34 min and off for

34 min.

If a supplier claims suitability for operation at extended conditions (voltages or temperatures

outside of normal conditions, including high humidity) then:

a) lamps shall be tested under claimed extended conditions; and

b) lamps shall start and operate satisfactorily under claimed extended conditions; and

Compliance:

At the end of the test all the LED lamps shall operate for a period of at least 15 min and show

no physical effects of temperature cycling such as cracks or delaminating of the label.

NOTE The switching period of 68 min is chosen to get a phase shift between temperature and switching period

The temperature requirements of Clause A.1 do not apply.

NOTE — The aim of the test is to check the mechanical strength of the assembly.

b) Supply voltage switching test — The ON 30 s/OFF 30 s cycling shall be repeated at test voltage for a number of cycles equal to half the rated lamp life in hour (Example: 10 k cycles if rated life is 20 kh). The temperature requirements of Clause A.1 do apply.

NOTE The purpose of this test is to check the endurance of the built-in electronic components.

Compliance:

At the end of the test all the LED lamps shall operate and have a luminous flux which stays

within the claimed lumen maintenance code for a period of at least 15 min. 13.2.2 Accelerated operational life test

The LED lamp shall be operated continuously without switching at a test voltage and at a

temperature corresponding to 10 K (see last paragraph and the note) above the maximum

specified operating temperature, if declared by the manufacturer and over an operational time

of 1 000 h. If there is no declared value then the test shall be performed at 50 °C. Any thermal

protecting devices that would switch off the LED lamp or reduce the light output shall be

bypassed.

Compliance:

At the end of this test, and after cooling down to room temperature and being stabilised, all

the lamps shall have an allowed decrease of light output of maximum 30 % compared to the

for at least 15 min.

The temperature requirements of Clause A.1 do not apply.

An accelerated test should not evoke fault modes or failure mechanisms which are not related

to normal life effects. For example, a too high temperature increase would lead to chemical or

physical effects from which no conclusions on real life can be made.

14

NOTE This test is to check for catastrophic failures.

14 DIMMING Requirements are under consideration. 15 HARMONICS AND POWER FACTOR 15.1 The harmonics of the input current when measured in accordance with IS 14700 (Part 3/Sec 2) shall be as given in 15.1.1 and 15.1..2 15.1.1 : No requirements below 5 W (not including 5 W) for all lighting equipment.

15.1.2 For lamps having an active input power more than 5 W and smaller or equal to 25 W,

the harmonic current shall comply with one of the following two sets of requirements:

– the harmonic currents shall not exceed the power-related limits of Table 9, column 2, or:

– The third harmonic current, expressed as a percentage of the fundamental current, shall not

exceed 86 percent and the fifth shall not exceed 61 percent. Moreover, the waveform of the

input current shall be such that it begins to flow before or at 60°, has its last peak (if there are

several peaks per half period) before or at 65° and does not stop flowing before 90°, where

the zero crossing of the fundamental supply voltage is assumed to be at 0°.

METHOD OF MEASURING LAMP CHARACTERISTICS

A-1 GENERAL All tests shall be made in a draught-free room at an ambient temperature of 27 ± 1°C and a relative humidity of 65 percent maximum.

All tests shall be carried out at rated frequency. Unless otherwise specified for a specific purpose by the manufacturer or responsible vendor, lamps shall be operated in free air in a vertical base-up position for all tests including lumen maintenance tests. The test voltage shall be stable within ±0.5 percent, during stabilization periods, this tolerance being ±0.2 percent at the moment of measurements. For luminous flux maintenance testing the tolerance is 2 percent. The total harmonic content of the supply voltage shall not exceed 3 percent. The harmonic content is defined as the R.M.S. summation of the individual harmonic components using the fundamental as 100 percent.

A-2 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

A-2.1 Test Voltage

The test voltage shall be the rated voltage (see A-1). In case of a voltage range, measurements shall be carried out at the mean value . A-2.2 Ageing Lamps normally do not require any ageing prior to testing. However, the manufacturer may define an ageing period . A-2.3 Stabilization Time The lamp under test may be regarded as stable and suitable for test purpose, if the difference of maximum and minimum readings of luminous flux or luminous intensity observed over the last 15 min is less than 0,5 % and for lamp power is less than 1 %. If stabilisation conditions are not achieved within 45 min, the measurement may be started and the observed fluctuations shall be reported.

A-3.1 Test Voltage

The test voltage shall be the rated voltage (see A-1). In case of a voltage range, measurements shall be carried out at the mean value. A-3.2 Establishing Lumen Values The initial luminous flux shall be measured after thermal stabilisation of the LED lamp, for conditions (see A-2.3). Reference is made to document IS 16106. NOTE — Method of measuring the luminous flux of LED lamps is under discussion. Annex B has been reserved for a description of an improved method.

The peak intensity shall be measured in accordance with IS/IEC TR 61341 (currently under

printing).

A.5 Beam angle

The beam angle shall be measured in accordance with IS /IEC TR 61341 (currently under

printing)

(Table 1)

HOW TO COMPOSE AND UNDERSTAND A PHOTOMETRIC CODE

Example of a lamp photometric code like 830/359, meaning:

8 – Initial CRI of e.g. 82

30 – Initial CCT of 3 000K

3 – Initial spread of chromaticity co-ordinates within a 3-step MacAdam ellipse

5– Maintained spread of chromaticity co-ordinates after accelerated operational life time within a 5-

step MacAdam ellipse

9 – Code of lumen maintenance after accelerated operational life time; in this example: ≥ 90% of the 0 h value.

The colour rendering value is expressed as one figure which is obtained by using the intervals, see

IEC/TR 62732:

CRI = 70 to 79→ code 7

CRI = 80 to 89 → code 8

CRI = ≥ 90 → code 9

The highest value is 9.
