Ready to Have My Luminaire Tested, Now What?

on-line. If not completed on-line, this form should be faxed,
e-mailed, or enclosed with the fixture when it is shipped to
LTL. Finally, pack and ship the fixture to LTL using your preferred
shipping service. The shipping address is:

Do
I Need to Send Lamps or Ballasts With My Test?
LTL keeps an extensive inventory of pre-aged lamps
to be used during testing. If your luminaire requires a rare
or prototype lamp, please call to see if we stock the lamp.
In the event LTL does not currently have the lamp you require
for testing, we will season the lamp(s) required for testing
in accordance with IESNA LM-54-91 free of charge. LTL also maintains
an extensive inventory of HID ballasts for use in testing. For
most HID luminaires it is not necessary to include the ballast.
Fluorescent ballasts should always be included when sending
fluorescent fixtures for testing. As always, if you have any
questions please contact us, we are
always happy to help.
