Standards and certifications play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, performance, and compliance of LED lighting products, helping consumers and businesses make informed decisions about their use in various applications.

Two types of energy are produced in an incineration plant: heat and power. Each type has its own production process and level of energy efficiencyIn economic terms, energy efficiency refers to the efforts made to reduce the energy consumpt...Go to definition .

For example, the energy produced in the three Paris-region incineration plants operated by Syctom is enough to heat 300,000 homes a year.

An incineration plant includes a furnace and a post-combustion chamber. The waste is burned in the furnace in a process called pyrolysisThermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures, carried out in an ...Go to definition , which produces combustible gases. These are burned in the post-combustion chamber at temperatures of 800 to 900°C. A heat exchanger — in which very hot water or superheated steam circulates — is used to recover energy from the flue gas emitted.

There are also various kinds of agricultural waste, such as straw from wheat, corn and rice, as well as agro-industrial waste, which mostly comes from sugar and oil mills. Papermaking creates waste, too. After extracting cellulose from wood to make pulp, pulp mills burn the by-product known as “black liquor.”

Blue LEDlight history

Incineration is first and foremost a way of eliminating a sizable amount of our waste. Some 90% of its initial volume goes up in smoke. This represents a healthier solution than the huge landfills of the past. In France, direct dumping of recyclable or recoverable waste has been prohibited since July 2002. In addition to getting rid of refuse, incineration allows us to produce energy from waste.

Matter is a connectivity standard for smart home devices, ensuring interoperability and reliability across different brands and platforms.

Heat production: This involves simply heating water through waste combustion. This process is energy efficient, with 70 to 80% of the combustion heat recovered after incineration, or about 1,500 kWh of thermal energy per ton of refuse. Of course, the heat produced then has to be used somewhere near the incineration plant.

A better solution to producing just heat or just power through incineration is producing both simultaneously through cogenerationThe simultaneous production of both heat (thermal energy) and power (produced by harnessing m...Go to definition , also known as combined heat and power (CHP). This involves using the residual heat in the exhaust steam from the power-generating turbine. With this process, energy efficiency improves to 50 to 60%.

California Title 24 is a building energy efficiency standard that mandates certain energy-saving measures, including lighting requirements.

UL IoT Security certification evaluates the cybersecurity aspects of connected devices. Products with this certification meet UL's requirements for IoT security, ensuring robust protection against cyber threats and vulnerabilities.

NSF certification ensures that products meet strict public health and safety standards, particularly for food, water, and consumer goods. For LED lighting, it often applies to products used in food service or healthcare environments.

UL certification signifies that a product has been tested and meets stringent safety standards set by Underwriters Laboratories. It is one of the most recognized safety standards for electrical and electronic products in the United States.

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) can be defined as the color of white light a light source is emitting. CCT is measured in Kelvin (K). The different color temperatures along the Kelvin scale correlate with different shades of white light, all of which impact how an individual perceives the space. LED lights are typically grouped into 3 different color temperatures: warm white, natural white, and cool white. Warm white gives off a yellow shade of light, natural light closely resembles the color of light given off from the sun, and cool light has a slightly blue tint to it.

RoHS compliance ensures that products do not contain specific hazardous materials, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, in amounts exceeding the established limits.

Power production: The heat exchanger has to contain steam at the highest possible pressure. This steam is sent to a turbine that drives an electric generator. The power produced can be supplied to the grid all year round. The energy efficiency of this process is about 20 to 25% (300 to 400 kWh).

Moreover, the flue gas from incinerating waste is highly toxic. The resulting gas must therefore be scrubbed and neutralized (because of its acidity) before being released. Air pollution around incineration plants is particularly high.

It is estimated that by recovering 50% of all municipal waste in France, about 1% of the country’s energy consumption needs could be met. This solution is therefore very far from adequate.

FCC certification confirms that a product meets the electromagnetic interference and radiation standards set by the Federal Communications Commission. This ensures that the product will not interfere with other electronic devices and communication networks.

ETL certification indicates that a product has been tested by Intertek and found to meet the minimum requirements of prescribed safety standards. Products with the ETL mark comply with North American safety standards and can be sold in the United States and Canada.

By exploiting its potential to recover energy from waste, Europe could provide 17 million homes with power and 24 million with heat. Denmark is currently the European champion in terms of per capita power and heat production.

Energy Star certification is awarded to products that meet stringent energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

DLC certification is focused on the quality and performance of energy-efficient lighting products. Products with DLC certification are recognized for their efficacy, quality, and energy savings, making them eligible for rebates and incentives.
