ANSI C136.37-2011

This is the first solid state lighting (SSL) standard produced by ANSI accredited standards committee 136 (C136). This standard defines interchangeability of and some requirements for SSL source fixtures (also referred to as luminaires and/or LED (light-emitting diode) fixtures). These are used in roadway and off-roadway luminaires that meets various ANSI C136 standards. The standard provides useful references to existing regional and international SSL standards and current practices for roadway and area lighting and makes recommendations on how these may be applied to solid state. This standard includes requirements for operating temperature, correlated color temperature, mounting provisions, dimming, ingress protection and wiring and grounding. In addition, it sets protocol for surge-test waveforms, the basic insulation test and specific product ratings.
