Xenon Lighting: Technology Evaluation & Testing

This evaluation project consisted of a commercially available outdoor lighting product market assessment, a comparison of manufacturer claims regarding these products, and a laboratory evaluation of representative xenon products marketed for use in the outdoor sector. Laboratory test results characterize xenon product performance with respect to photometric and electrical properties over the course of 11,000 hours of run-time.

The evaluation was divided into two phases. The first phase, documented in an interim report posted in November 2012 (http://www.etcc-ca.com/reports/xenon-lighting-technology-evaluation-testing), consisted of product evaluation and comparison against traditional exterior source technologies using published manufacturer’s data. This final report provides the results of the lab testing.
