Raising Standards in LED Lighting Perfomance & Reliability
Raising Standards in LED Lighting Perfomance & Reliability
Dec 15, 2025
At Truck-Lite Europe, we’ve just taken a major step forward in our commitment to lighting performance, reliability and safety.
Our newly expanded, state-of-the-art in-house testing facility is now fully operational, delivering deeper validation, tougher endurance testing and even greater confidence in every product we supply
Key advanced testing capabilities:
Optical testing tunnel & reflex testing area for precise validation of light output, colour accuracy and reflectivity
2,000-hour LED endurance tests to replicate real on/off cycling, heat loads and daily operational stresses
Thermal cycling from +23 °C to +60 °C with repeated power switching to ensure electronic and thermal stability
IPX4 water-spray testing using 30 rotating jets and 360° product rotation to prevent water-ingress failures
96-hour environmental chamber cycles from –40 °C to +60 °C, up to 95% humidity - with and without vibration
Full alignment with UN ECE regulations, ensuring guaranteed global compliance and road-legal performance
Continuous data capture to validate PCBAs, monitor long-term LED behaviour and drive ongoing product improvements
This capability goes far beyond typical industry validation, especially compared to lower-cost manufacturers. By aggressively testing for thermal shock, moisture ingress and vibration stress, we’re ensuring the long-term durability of every Truck-Lite product.
For OEMs, converters and fleet operators, this means fewer failures, reduced downtime, improved safety and lower lifetime maintenance costs. It also strengthens our ongoing drive to deliver technically advanced, fully validated lighting solutions across our portfolio of lamps, harnesses, reflectors, mirrors and more.
