ADVANTAGE ITL |
OTHER LIGHTING TEST LABS |
| TRULY INDEPENDENT REPORTS: ITL is truly an independent test lab. We do not have any ties to lighting related manufacturers or specifying bodies. This gives lighting specifiers total confidence in the impartiality of ITL's test reports. Our clients can also be confident that their trade secrets are safe with ITL. | There have been and still may be lighting laboratories which serve the lighting industry that have direct ties to lighting manufacturers. Are you receiving unbiased test reports? Is it possible that using these laboratories may jeopardize your valuable trade secrets? Another consideration is; are you contributing to your competitor's bottom line? |
| STAFF EXPERIENCE: The ITL personnel who perform, review and approve your reports have over 40 years of combined experience with testing lighting products. | We suggest that you ask other laboratories how much experience their staff (that reviews and approves your reports) has and compare. |
| REPUTATION: Having served the lighting industry for over 50 years, ITL has built a reputation for producing test reports of the highest quality and accuracy which lighting specifiers have come to trust. | Other lighting test labs simply cannot compare to ITL's longevity and recognition throughout the industry. With over 55,000 ITL reports in circulation, no one else even comes close. |
| TEST PROCEDURES: ITL takes great care in performing your tests, no short cuts are taken. We always allow adequate stabilization of the lamp and/or luminaire. ITL also selects an adequate number of vertical and lateral data acquisition points to accurately define your test sample. ITL has had 50 years to perfect our test procedures. | There are laboratories in the industry who have been known to take less than a full set of photometric data to represent a luminaire. Some have even been known to take just one quadrant of data to represent a quadrilaterally symmetric luminaire. Due to limitations in their test apparatus some labs cannot take a sufficient number of test data points to accurately define your test samples. Others have limitations where they cannot test your luminaire in the orientation that it's applied in. We believe, there are also labs that do not allow the lamp and/or luminaire to fully stabilize before testing. |
| ACCURACY: Each ITL photometric report is reviewed by both a technician and an engineer who use a 40+ point check list to validate report accuracy. | What does the lab you're using do to validate report accuracy? |
