The safe future of lighting.

LED technology is found in different fields (automotive, medical, street lighting, etc.). Guaranteeing the reliability of the electronic components of products containing LEDs means being able to release safe products that are reliable over time.

The increasing optical power of new LED applications makes the photobiological safety and the ergonomics of the delivered radiation ever more important.

Our approach

Gestlabs offers partner companies this approach for the validation and characterisation of LEDs and their control electronics:

Planning reliability

  • Theoretical calculation of the MTBF value
  • FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) of the project
  • Setting of HALT tests (Highly Accelerated Life Test)

Production control

  • Product qualification

Lab tests and analysis

  • ATC (Accelerated Thermal Cycling)
  • Thermal shock
  • High temperatures
  • High humidity
  • Identification of defects and failure mechanisms
  • Analysis of optical features
  • Safety and ergonomics evaluation of light output (glare reduction, short- and long-term radiation effects on eyes)
  • Measurement methods for optical-feature analysis
