Case Studies/Whitepapers/Research

1.   NEMA Publishes White Paper LSD 68 – Entitled Remote Phosphor Devices Used in LED Lamps, Engines and Luminaires. This document facilitates development of testing and certification procedures that will allow the qualification of pump or source devices, pumped conversion materials/remote phosphors, and reflective materials independently. Then, qualification of the remote phosphor system (pump + conversion material + mixing chamber material, if applicable) does not require testing of each combination of pump device, conversion material, and mixing chamber material. This can simplify the testing required to qualify for ENERGY STAR^®. http://www.nema.org/Standards/Pages/Remote-Phosphor-Devices-Used-in-LED-Lamps,-Engines-and-Luminaires.aspx

2.    NEMA Publishes ANSI C78.375-2014 – Entitled American National Standard for Fluorescent Lamps—Guide for Electrical Measures. This standard describes the procedures to be followed and the precautions to be observed in obtaining uniform and reproducible measurements of the electrical characteristics of fluorescent lamps under standard conditions when operated on alternating current (ac) circuits. These methods are applicable both to lamps having hot cathodes—either preheat-start, rapid-start, or instant-start—and to lamps of the cold-cathode variety.  http://www.nema.org

3.    NEMA Publishes ANSI C136.41-2013 - For Roadway and Area Lighting Equipment–Dimming Control Between an External Locking Type Photocontrol and Ballast or Driver. Describes methods of light level control between an external locking type photocontrol (or similar device) and a dimmable ballast or driver for street and area lighting equipment.  Mechanical, electrical, and marking requirements are established for dimming, locking type photocontrols and mating receptacles. http://www.nema.org

4.   NEMA Publishes ANSI C136.46-2013 – Entitled American National Standard for Roadway and Area Lighting Equipment—Concrete Lighting Poles.  This standard applies to concrete lighting poles used in roadway and area lighting equipment and includes nomenclature, performance criteria, marking and recordkeeping requirements, and certain minimal material needs. It does not cover concrete poles manufactured with any modified concrete mix incorporating the use of polymers or other modifiers. http://www.nema.org
