Rigorous Testing: Ensuring the Longevity of Your Red Light Therapy Panel

You wouldn't buy a car without test-driving it, right? We feel the same way about red light therapy panels. They need to be proven.

REDDOT employs a comprehensive suite of testing and aging equipments to ensure every red light therapy panel meets our stringent quality and performance standards. This includes power meters, electronic loads, transformers, and specialized aging racks.

I've seen panels fail prematurely because they weren't properly tested. Let me show you how we make sure that doesn't happen at REDDOT.

The Testing Arsenal: A Battery of Checks

"Trust, but verify," as the saying goes. We don't just assume our panels work; we prove it.

Before leaving our facility, each red light therapy panel undergoes a series of rigorous tests using specialized equipment. This ensures that every component functions correctly and that the panel delivers the expected performance.

Our Testing Equipment:

• Power Meters: These devices measure the electrical power consumption and output of the panel.
• Electronic Loads: These simulate real-world usage conditions, testing the panel's ability to handle different loads.
• Transformers: These adjust the voltage and current to match the panel's specifications.
• Integrating Sphere & Spectroradiometer: Measures the total luminous flux, color temperature, and spectral power distribution of the light source.
• Oscilloscope: Displays and analyzes the waveform of electronic signals, helps in detecting any anomalies in the power supply or LED driver circuits.

Why We Test:

• Functionality: To ensure that all components are working correctly.
• Performance: To verify that the panel meets its specified power output and irradiance levels.
• Safety: To identify any potential electrical hazards.
• Consistency: To ensure that every panel performs the same way.

Aging Racks: The Ultimate Endurance Test

We don't just want our panels to work today. We want them to work for years.

After initial testing, panels are placed on aging racks for an extended period. This "burn-in" process simulates long-term use, identifying any potential weaknesses or premature failures before the product reaches the customer.

The Aging Process:

1. Continuous Operation: Panels are powered on and run continuously for a specified duration.
2. Temperature Monitoring: The temperature of the panels is monitored to ensure they don't overheat.
3. Performance Checks: Regular checks are performed to verify that the panels continue to meet performance specifications.
4. Failure Analysis: If any panel fails during aging, it's analyzed to determine the cause and prevent future occurrences.

The Benefits of Aging:

• Early Failure Detection: Identifies any components that are likely to fail prematurely.
• Improved Reliability: Ensures that only robust panels reach the customer.
• Longer Lifespan: Helps to weed out any potential issues that could shorten the panel's lifespan.
• Data Collection: provides valuable data.

Conclusion

REDDOT's comprehensive testing and aging procedures are crucial. We're committed to providing products, that you will be able to use for a long time.
