LF14 Maintenance factors and LED luminaires - Dispelling some myths (2018) (pdf)

There is a growing belief that the move to LED as a light source for luminaires has results in a "fit and forget" approach to cleaning and any de-rating of light output during the design process can either be reduced or ignored altogether.

This factfile is intended to provide guidance to those commissioning, designing, installing, and maintaining lighting installations, as well as provide an overview for facilities managers and building owners about some of the environmental factors that can affect their lighting design over its life which will affect LED luminaires.

This is one of the Society of Light and Lighting's series of freely available factfiles, all of which are available here:
