Red Sky Lighting Earns First UL Verification Worldwide for up to 95.9% Lumen Maintenance at 176°F for 10,000 Hours
California, USA, Feb 24, 2024 – Red Sky Lighting, a leading manufacturer of LED lighting for industrial applications, proudly announces that its High Bay Hot Series has received a UL Verification (V-Mark) for 10,000 Hours projected lumen maintenance at an ambient temperature of 176°F (80°C). This distinction makes it the first product worldwide to attain such recognition under the same conditions.
The High Bay Hot Series from Red Sky Lighting has reached a significant milestone by successfully completing rigorous testing conducted by UL. It has demonstrated an impressive ability to maintain up to 95.9% of its initial lumens after 10,000 hours of continuous operation at an ambient temperature of 176°F (80°C). This achievement sets a new standard of performance within the industry.
Furthermore, the test results show that the High Bay Hot Series can maintains at least 70% of its initial lumen output after 47,000 to 50,000 hours continuous operation at 80°C ambient, equivalent to over 5 years of lifetime at 24/7 operation or over 10 years at 12 hours/day. As a testament to its durability, Red Sky Lighting confidently offers a five-year, no-compromise warranty that covers the entire system, including the LEDs, driver, housing, and gaskets.
