ETC: Our Fixtures Are Built to Last

L70 is a common rating system used throughout the LED fixture industry. There is, however, some confusion as to what the rating does and does not define. We’d like to clear up the misconceptions and explain how ETC is using L70 to test their LED fixtures to their limits.

The following video includes interviews with industry consultant Mike Wood, ETC Fixtures Technical Product Manager, David Cahalane, and Fixtures Marketing Product Manager, Jim Uphoff, discussing the assumptions and realities around LED ratings and fixture testing standards.

The good news is, ETC hasn’t changed how they manufacture their LED fixtures. As they continue to get official test results back from their third-party lab for more of their fixtures, we’re proud to say that the numbers continue to exceed even their original expectations.

Proof that ETC’s fixtures are, and always have been, manufactured to the highest quality.

Extending the ratings

Several of ETC’s fixtures are reaching higher L70 ratings than we originally anticipated…

Fixture:
ColorSource Spot – before LM84 testing 20,000 hours, after LM84 testing  54,000 hours
Source Four LED Lustr+ – before LM84 testing 20,000 hours, after LM84 testing  54,000 hours

We will continue to update you as we get final L70 results back on additional fixtures.
