Comprehensive Lighting and Product Testing Methodology
UniLab offers a wide range of testing services designed to evaluate optical performance, thermal behavior, environmental resistance, and mechanical durability of luminaires and related products.
Photometric Testing
Photometric tests measure light output, luminous intensity distribution, and optical performance to confirm compliance with lighting design and performance specifications.
Thermal Test (Normal Operation – Clause 12.4)
Thermal testing evaluates temperature rise during normal operation, ensuring product safety, reliability, and long-term performance under specified operating conditions.
IP Test (Ingress Protection – Clause 9.2)
IP testing verifies protection against dust and water ingress, helping confirm suitability for indoor, outdoor, and harsh environmental applications.
Humidity Test
Humidity tests assess product performance under high-moisture conditions, supporting evaluation of long-term reliability in tropical and high-humidity environments.
Endurance Test
Endurance testing simulates prolonged operation to evaluate durability, stability, and resistance to performance degradation over time.
IK Test
IK testing measures resistance to mechanical impact, ensuring luminaires can withstand physical stress in public, industrial, and outdoor installations.
Salt Spray Test
Salt spray testing evaluates corrosion resistance, particularly for products intended for coastal, marine, or industrial environments.
