Aside from compliance with operating conditions, the operating characteristics of luminaires are significantly influenced by their functional components. This is particularly true for technical luminaires intended for LEDs and discharge lamps. However, they vary significantly for luminaires with different light sources. Therefore, the following chapters will discuss them separately. Generally, the following applies: The selection of components influences overall product quality to a great extent. Therefore, knowledge of operating and material characteristics (see figure) is indispensable for a comprehensive quality assessment.
