Product Evaluation & Selection
SSLS provides independent, science-based evaluation and selection of lighting products — for lighting projects of any kind, usual or unusual. We help buyers, specifiers, and growers cut through competing spectral claims, photon-efficacy numbers, and marketing to choose LED and lighting products that will actually perform. We work globally.
What we do
- Independent product evaluation & testing — measure and benchmark intensity, spectral power distribution, efficacy, color, flicker, and other characteristics, in-situ or in the lab.
- Product selection & buyer’s agent — translate requirements into the right product, and support procurement and pricing negotiation.
- Grow-light selection for large-scale growers — independent evaluation to choose high-quality, suitable horticultural lighting.
- Supplier & manufacturer evaluation — assess products and suppliers in the U.S., Asia, and Europe.
- Reliability-informed decisions — factor lifetime, lumen and color maintenance, and known failure modes into the choice.
Why independent evaluation matters
Lighting product claims are inconsistent and often overstated. As scientists with real measurement capability — and no product of our own to sell — SSLS gives an objective, technically grounded assessment, so you invest in lighting that performs.
