Fr Type B and Type C prducts (i.e. lamp-style retrfit kits, which cnnect mechanically and/r electrically t the fixture via standard lamp hlders, but which require an electrical mdificatin t the existing fixture), lamp -level testing is als required. If the system is designed t perate multiple lamps utilizing an external driver, the driver shuld be laded as it wuld be in the field, with apprpriate steps taken t calculate the efficacy f the single lamp. Fr example, fr a tw-lamp kit, ne lamp shuld be measured fr light utput, while the system as intended (with tw identical lamps n the driver) shuld be measured fr electrical input. The wattage int the driver can then be divided by tw, and that wattage divided int the lamp lumens t determine system efficacy. Fr questins, please cntact applicatins@designlights.rg.
