The CE certified LED Panel Light is an energy-efficient, low-profile solution for a variety of commercial spaces. These flat-panel LED lights fit into existing standard suspended grid ceilings and recesses or are surface-mounted, making them a versatile and efficient alternative to fluorescent fixtures. They are available in many shapes and sizes and offer a clean, modern look that’s easy to maintain.
Choosing a Power Supply
A power supply that has a certified LED driver can help ensure the reliability and longevity of your new LED lighting system. These products typically have FCC, American UL, and multi-national certification marks that indicate the quality of the product.
UL is a United States-based testing and inspection company that evaluates LED products for safety. Having a UL listing means that the product has passed all of UL’s standards for safety and is safe to use.
RoHS Compliance
The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) mark on an LED light ensures that the product contains no more than six hazardous materials, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and polybrominated biphenyls. This label is required by the EU, and it’s a good way to let consumers know that your product is safe to use in their home or office.
Ecodesign Requirements
The European Union sets limits and requirements for the energy efficiency of LED lighting products, so all importers must provide information about these limits and requirements when they sell LED lighting in Europe. This information is usually included on the packaging of the product and can also be obtained from test companies like Intertek or TUV.
DLC Compliance
The Design Light Consortium is an organization that accredits LED lights based on their color rendering capabilities, lumen maintenance, longevity and more. This is a great way to ensure that the LEDs in your product are performing at their highest level and are a good investment for you as well as your customers.
CE Certification
The CE mark is a legal requirement for all products sold in the EU. This marking indicates that the LED light has been tested by a recognized third party to meet all of the applicable EU safety, health and environmental regulations.
These markings are not only important for the consumer, but they also provide your company with a valuable marketing tool that can increase your sales and improve your reputation. If your product isn’t CE compliant, it could end up costing you thousands of dollars in fines and imprisonment, or even get you shut out of the European market!
REACH Regulation
The EU’s REACH regulation is a mandatory requirement for all products that are imported or sold in the European Union. This is a law that was created to ensure the safety of the environment, consumers and workers. It aims to reduce the amount of toxic chemicals that are released into the environment, and it encourages manufacturers to produce products that will not harm the human body or the planet.
WEEE Directive
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive is a law that promotes recycling and the reuse of all types of electrical goods. It also requires all LED lighting to have a WEEE symbol that’s easily identifiable.
