The efficiency of an LED fixture depends on a combination of the following:

Not just this but what is extremely important is to have people with a sound understanding of the subject along with experience to effectively integrate all the above 4 points together.

In short, you need the right recipe, along with the correct and best ingredients and a knowledgeable and experienced chef to dish out the best dish! Samudra has exactly this!!

Samudra LED fixtures incorporate & exhibit all the above features in their designs.

For example:

• To ensure that we don’t compromise on quality at any level, we get our products tested from one of the best Solid State Lighting laboratories in USA – Luminarie Testing Lab. Inc. Pennsylvania. LTL is recognized by the Dept. of Energy, USA, to certify SSL fixture performance as per IESNA standards.
• Drivers used are UL/CE certified as per UL-8750 and Fixtures as per UL-1598.

1. Ensure Proper Heat Management:
   To use LEDs effectively needs a lot of research; especially in terms of design, material and electronics. Design plays a very crucial role in managing heat dissipation. Without proper heat management, the projected life of LEDs gets reduced drastically. Samudra’s designs are unique and an outcome extensive research.  Samudra has filed patents in the USA and India for Process Manufacturing and Design Registration.


2. Check Lumens per Watt: 
   The LEDs used in the product should provide maximum light consuming minimum energy. Samudra uses LEDs which are rated between 130 & 150 lumens per watt. The forward current has to be managed in a manner which drives the LED to perform to its optimum capacity as indicated by the LED chip manufacturer.


3. Ask for Photometric Data from a Certified Lab:
   Ensure that the luminaire manufacturer’s performance claims are supported by  IESNA LM-79-08reports with data files from a certified lab approved by the US Department of Energy (DOE). Samudra gets their products tested from Luminaire Testing Laboratory (LTL), Philadelphia, USA.


4. Verify Lumen Depreciation:
   Traditional sources of lights, which are mostly filament-based, usually fail completely at the end of their life. LEDs typically don’t fail completely; they simply fade over time, which is referred to as lumen depreciation. IESNA LM – 80 is a standard that supports an assessment of expected lifetime of the LED. Ask the Luminaire manufacturer for the LED chip manufacturer’s IESNA LM – 80 reports to support the life expectancy claims of the LEDs.


5. Ensure High Power Factor (>0.95):
   To ensure a High Power Factor, the reactive power generated by the fixture should be as low as possible. This makes the product high in product efficiency and assures low energy consumption.


6. Driver Circuit Efficiency:
   Ensure that the efficiency of the electronic driver circuit is greater than 85%. This will enhance the light output and minimize heat loss.


7. Life Expectancy:
   For the fixture to last for the projected working life (usually >50,000 hrs.), the luminaire must be designed to last for more than 100,000 hrs. This needs a perfect integration of hardware, electronic components and LEDs, which Samudra has mastered over the period of time. The body of our fixture is specially treated to help it meet the projected working life.
