LED Industry Standards from IESNA
LM-79 and LM-80 are two standards drafted by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) to measure LED performance.
2008 LED standards: ANSI C78.377 (chromaticity), LM-79 (luminous flux) and LM-80 (lumen maintenance).
According to LEDs Magazine, "2008 is likely to be remembered as the Year of LED Standards, due to
the publication of ANSI C78.377 (chromaticity), LM-79 (luminous flux)
and LM-80 (lumen maintenance)."
