Lumen Maintenance

Lamp ignition under specified conditions, the lumen maintenance is the light flux in a specific time during the life of the lamp to the initial luminous flux of the lamp ratio, usually expressed as a percentage. With the increase of the ignition time, the light flux will reduce. Effective lifetime is defined based on lumen maintenance. When the lumen maintenance is less than 50%, it can be regarded as the life of the lamp has been reached end.
