It is always key to compare the final light output of the system.
For LED fittings it is crucial to get the final „hot“ light output and not the initial LED value.
Technical specs: colour rendering index
The CRI is reflecting the average value basing on standard reference values
1 Old pink
9 Deep red
2 Mustard yellow
10 Deep yellow
3 Yellow green
11 Deep green
4 Light green
12 Deep blue
5 Turquoise
13 Skin
6 Light blue
14 Chlorophyll
7 Purple
8 Lilac
The higher the CRI the lower the system efficacy

Technical specs: binning
The LED binning
assures the
homogeneity from
LED to LED as well as
the homogeneity of
the complete
installation
Source : OSRAM
Fine binning example
Note : a binning indication in +/- Kelvin gives only
a limited indication
MacAdam steps (SDCM):
Area in which no colour difference is visible
Colour differences gets visible above the value of 3
Only a MacAdams Steps value is granting a good homogeneity of an LED based lighting
system.
Technical specs: system lifetime
Light output maintenance / lifetime ratio

Technical specs : system lifetime
Example and interpretation of an LED lifetime curve
Technical specs: system lifetime
A good thermal management of the LED systems grants the
specified/extrapolated lifetime value.

Technical specs: glare
A topic to consider with attention
• An LED based system can show very
attractive technical features
• In the application the result can
unfortunately be very disappointing
for the users
• LED light sources have a very punctual
light emission surface creating very
high luminance values
• It is very important to consider this
topic when considering an LED
lighting system especially when it
comes to illuminate work spaces
