With the help of our Japanese Partners, our sample for LED outdoor lights has passed 1000 hours salt spray test of our LED outdoor lights.
The test requirements for the coating is: Salt Spray Test：5% NaCl Solution for 1000 hours – No change
The 1000 hours salt spray test was done at Fukuoka Industrial Technology Center.
If you need LED lights used in coastal, industrial, or other harsh environments.
Undersanding the 1000 Hours Salt Spray Test
The reliability and durability of LED light fixtures are crucial for our partners and customers, especially for those lights used in harsh environments such as coastal and industrial areas.
The salt spray test of LED lights refers to exposing LED light fixtures to salt spray environments to simulate the use of marine climate or high salinity environments to test the corrosion resistance of LED lights. Salt spray testing can evaluate the corrosion resistance of LED lights in harsh environments and verify whether they can work stably for a long time. Through salt spray testing, the external materials, sealing performance, surface coating and other properties of LED lights can be detected to ensure that LED lights can still work reliably in harsh environments.
Usually, approximately 100 hours salt spray is similar to one year outdoors based on the industrial statement.
Typical Durations for Salt Spray Tests
Quoted from “What is the Duration of Salt Spray Test”, Link: https://www.lib-climaticchamber.com/info/what-is-the-duration-of-salt-spray-test-102018365.html
Short-Term Tests (24-96 Hours)
Short-term salt spray tests, typically lasting between 24 to 96 hours, are often used for quick evaluations or comparative testing. These tests can provide initial insights into a material’s corrosion resistance and are particularly useful for screening different coatings or treatments. While not as comprehensive as longer tests, short-term evaluations can help identify obvious deficiencies or compare relative performance between samples.
Medium-Term Tests (100-500 Hours)
Medium-duration tests, ranging from 100 to 500 hours, offer a more thorough assessment of corrosion resistance. These tests are commonly used in industries where moderate corrosion resistance is required, such as automotive components or household appliances. The extended duration allows for a more accurate prediction of long-term performance while still maintaining a reasonable testing timeframe.
Long-Term Tests (1000+ Hours)
For applications demanding exceptional corrosion resistance, long-term salt spray tests exceeding 1000 hours are often employed. These extended tests are crucial for evaluating materials used in harsh environments, such as marine equipment, offshore structures, or aerospace components. Long-term testing using a salt spray chamber provides the most comprehensive assessment of a material’s corrosion resistance, allowing manufacturers to confidently predict performance over many years of use.
