These settings are relevant for light sources that allow the end-user to control, manually or automatically, directly or remotely, the luminous intensity, colour, correlated colour temperature, spectrum, and/or beam angle of the emitted light. In principle, the reference control settings shall be those predefined by the manufacturer as factory default values and encountered by the user at first installation (out-of-the-box values). If the installation procedure provides for an automatic software update during first installation, or if the user has the option to perform such an update, the resulting change in settings (if any) shall be taken into account. If the out-of-the-box value is deliberately set differently from the reference control setting (e.g. at low power for safety purposes), the manufacturer shall indicate in the technical documentation how to recall the reference control settings for compliance verification and provide a technical justification why the out-of-the-box value is set different from the reference control setting. The light source manufacturer shall define the reference control settings such that: the light source is within the scope of this Regulation according to Article 1 and none of the conditions for exemption applies; lighting control parts and non-lighting parts are disconnected or switched-off or, in case this is not possible, the power consumption of these parts is minimal; the full-load condition is obtained; when the end-user opts to reset factory defaults, the reference control settings are obtained.

(b) Endurance test method: (i) Initial flux measurement: measure the luminous flux of the light source prior to starting the endurance test switching cycle. (ii) Switching cycles: operate the light source for 1200 cycles of repeated, continuous switching cycles without interruption. One complete switching cycle consists of 150 minutes of the light source switched ON at full power followed by 30 minutes of the light source switched OFF. The hours of operation recorded (i.e.3000 hours) include only the periods of the switching cycle when the light source was switched ON, i.e. the total test time is3600 hours.(iii) Final flux measurement: at the end of the 1200 switching cycles, note if any light sources have failed (see "Survival factor" in Annex IV, Table 6 of this Regulation) and measure the luminous flux of the light sources that have not failed.(iv) For each of the units in the sample which have not failed, divide the measured final flux by the measured initial flux. Average the resulting values over all the units that did not fail to compute the determined value for the lumen maintenance factor X LMF %.
Mains voltage non-directional light sources: 120-140 lm/W Mains voltage directional light sources: 90-100 lm/W Directional light sources not operating on the mains: 85- 95 lm/W Linear light sources (tubes): 140-160 lm/W
