LED lighting fixtures represent complex electronic systems , which allow to manage the luminous flux in function of lighting installation requests . LED technology is subject to operational conditions ( LED current , dimming levels , current stability ), environmental conditions ( Ta ) and installation conditions . For all the technicians who have to manage outdoor lighting installations , it ’ s paramount to know photometric characteristics ( luminous flux ) and electrical characteristics ( power , power factor , harmonic distortion and overvoltage protection ). The possibility to provide these types of data , contradistinguishes a company from another one . LED luminaires characterisation is an important process and AEC carries out an accurate measurement testing all the different luminaires operational conditions within its certified laboratories . Sometimes , It can be considered a very simple and innocuous process to provide specific data such as photometric values tested on other similar products and not directly on the requested luminaire , but in this way there is the risk to find approximate data on the market . AEC is against this ambiguous method in fact the company provides photometric data with certified report by third party , confirming its professionalism and reliability . According to AEC mission based on “ Total Quality System ” philosophy , the company assures the control of all the declared performance

and quality values and data , without any misunderstanding and duplicity . The declared data on AEC reports are measured in AEC photometric laboratories , which are under surveillance of third party . AEC carries out tests and measurements for other important values such as overvoltage levels protection , operating temperature of critical components , power factor and harmonic distortion in function of dimming options . The management of all performance data of the luminaires is saved on AEC server and it ’ s always updated in real-time , in order to provide clients with updated information and values , confirming to be always in line with the rapid change of LED technology .
