LED module shall be suitable for operation at 220V ±6%, 50 Hz ±2%, single
phase, a.c. supply.

1.2 The LED luminaires shall be fully assembled and tested before shipment from
factory. The LED luminaires shall comply both in manufacturing and testing with
the following international standards and their manufacturing process shall
conform to the relevant quality standard of ISO 9000:2005:

Luminaries : IEC 60598-1:2008 for general requirements

and tests; and IEC 60598-2-1:1987 for general
purpose luminaires or IEC 60598-2-2:1997 for
recessed luminaires

Type test certificate shall be provided to demonstrate the compliance with the
above standards issued by an accredited test laboratory for the LED luminaires.
The LED luminaires shall be marked in accordance with the requirements of IEC
60598-2-1:1987 for general-purpose luminaires or IEC 60598-2-2:1997 for
recessed luminaires.

1.3 The LED luminaires shall be rated for continuous service at an ambient
temperature of 40°C without affecting the performance requirements as stated in
clause 4 of this specification. The Contractor shall be responsible to advise the
Architect if the performance of the LED luminaires will be affected due to the
installation conditions affecting the thermal dissipation from the LED luminaires.

1.4 The LED luminaires shall be ‘Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

Compliance’. RoHS Compliance certificate issued by an accredited test
laboratory shall be submitted.

1.5 The LED luminaires shall have a full set of photometric data prepared to CIBSE
TM5 or IES format for general lighting design purpose.

2. Electronic Driver for LED Module

2.1 The electronic driver for LED module (driver) shall be the unit, inserted between
the power supply and one or more LED modules, which serves to supply the LED
module(s) with its constant rated voltage or rated current. The driver shall
include the components of power factor correction, radio interference suppression
and also dimming facility if it is specified.

2.2 The driver shall conform to the following international standards:

(i) IEC 61347-1:2007 Lamp controlgear – Part 1: General and safety

requirements;

Issue Date: 4 August 2009 PWL/YSM
 (ii) IEC 61347-2-13:2006 Lamp controlgear – Part 2-13: Particular
requirements for d.c. or a.c. supplied electronic controlgear for LED modules;

(iii) IEC 62384:2006 DC or AC supplied electronic control gear for LED

modules – Performance requirements;

(iv) IEC 61000-3-2: 2009 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) – Part 3-2:

Limits – Limits for harmonic current emissions (equipment input current ≦
16A per phase);

(v) IEC 61547:2000 Equipment for general lighting purposes – EMC immunity
requirements; and

(vi) EN 55015:2009 Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance

characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment.

2.3 Certificates of compliance with the above standards shall be issued by an

accredited test laboratory for different ratings of drivers.

3. LED Module

The ‘LED module’contains one or more LEDs are to supply the light source and it may
also include the optical, electrical and electronic components, but excluding the
electronic driver. For the ‘self-ballasted LED module’, the electronic driver integrates
with one or more LEDs as a unit for direct connection to a.c. supply. If the
self-ballasted LED module is equipped with a lamp cap, it is regarded as ‘self-ballasted
LED lamp’. The LED module, self-ballasted LED module or self-ballasted LED lamp
shall be manufactured and tested to comply with IEC 62031:2008: LED modules for
general lighting – Safety specifications. Certificate of compliance with the above
standard shall be issued by an accredited test laboratory or the manufacturer.

4. Performance Requirements [Note: Project officer shall add any particular performance
requirements to meet the project specific needs if necessary.]

Each model of LED luminaire shall comply with the following performance
requirements:

a. Luminaire efficacy (lumen/watt):

The luminaire efficacy for the (state the type of luminiare) shall be minimum ____
lumen/watt to indicate its performance.
(Refer to Appendix.)

b. Lumen maintenance (L70):

The lumen output shall deliver at least 70% of its initial lumen output after
operating 35,000 hours and 25,000 hours for LED module and self-ballasted LED
lamp respectively.

Issue Date: 4 August 2009 PWL/YSM
 c. Colour Rendering Index (CRI):

CRI shall be minimum 75 for colour temperature from 2700 – 6500K for indoor
luminaires and minimum 80 for self-ballasted LED lamp.

d. Power factor:

The power factor of the LED luminaire circuit and self-ballasted LED lamp shall be
minimum 0.9 and minimum 0.7 respectively.

e. Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) and its tolerance limit:

The CCT of luminaire type ____ shall be _____K. The tolerance limit shall be
± __K and to be maintained over the life time.
(Refer to Appendix.)

5. Testing Standards for Compliance with Performance Requirements

The performance requirements as stated in Clause 4 of each model of LED luminaire

shall be tested and certified by the accredited laboratories. The test reports shall be
submitted for approval. If the test reports of the above performance requirements from
the accredited laboratories are not available for the model of LED luminaire, the test
reports certifying their compliance with the other recognized international or national
standards or other standards on similar performance requirements shall be submitted for
approval.
