Lextar Electronics Corp, the only vertically integrated LED company in Taiwan, announced that its “Photometric Laboratory” has been accredited with LM-80 packaging testing approval and LM-79 lighting product testing.This makes Lextar the first of any LED corporation in Taiwan to be awarded both accreditations and shows the company’s commitment to cultivating the LED industry. In the future, Lextar will be able to use its own laboratory for product testing, which will simplify testing procedures, decrease time and lower costs, as well as quicken the company’s ability to capture LED lighting business opportunities across the world.
 
In addition, Lextar’s 3014 and 5630 LED packages have completed 6,000 hours of LM-80 testing over a course of nearly 9 months and are able to remain a high standard luminous output when subjected to temperatures at 55 and 85 degrees Celsius, showing that the products have enhanced their lifespan reliability. The 3014 and 5630 packages have many advantages such as high degree of stability and quality, and can be used in bulbs, tubes, down lights, panel lights, advertising light boxes as well as in many other applications, making them the most popular of LED products within the company. Lextar’s CoB product series is also the process of LM-80 testing, which is expected to be accredited as of next year.
