Why India for LED builds: India combines large die-casting/fabrication bases for housings with a mature BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) covering LED luminaires (fixed, recessed, street, flood, emergency) and LED controlgear (drivers). That means you can spec to IEC/IES and receive India-issued registrations out of the box.
What we source & build
- Drivers (controlgear): constant-current/constant-voltage, dimming (0–10 V, DALI), surge-hardened SKUs, high PF/low THD designs to IS 15885-2-13 / IEC 61347-2-13.
- Luminaires: fixed general-purpose, recessed, street/area, flood, emergency; optical control (lenses/reflectors), thermal stacks, IP/IK-rated enclosures. (CRS covers IS 10322 Part 5 Sections 1/2/3/5/8 for these families.)
- Housings & hardware: pressure die-cast Al, extrusions, stamped/heavy-gauge sheet, toughened glass/PC diffusers, gasket systems, marine-coat options.
The standards buyers expect (we build and test to these)
Safety & product standards
- LED drivers: IS 15885-2-13 (safety of electronic controlgear for LED modules). Reviewed in 2024.
- Luminaires: IS 10322 series (Part 1: general tests; Part 5/Sections for fixed, recessed, street, flood, emergency).
- Photobiological safety: IS 16108 / IEC 62471; India has accredited capability (CPRI photobio lab, Bengaluru).
Performance & life evidence
- LM-79 photometry for complete luminaires/lamps (latest ANSI/IES LM-79-24).
- LM-80 (LED package/module lumen/color maintenance) + TM-21 life projections (L70/L80 claims).
Ingress, impact & environment
EMC & surge immunity
- Emissions: CISPR 15 (limits/methods for lighting equipment).
- Immunity: IEC 61547; surge testing per IEC 61000-4-5 (levels per project class).
India-specific energy label (for lamps)
- For self-ballasted LED lamps, BEE Star Label applies (efficacy-based; schedule published; currently mandated for this category). (Not applicable to most luminaires.)

Risk-group evaluation to IS 16108/IEC 62471 via accredited Indian lab (e.g., CPRI). - CRS (India)
BIS-CRS registration support for the covered models (Fixed, Recessed, Street, Flood, Emergency luminaires; LED drivers).
How IndiaUnbox de-risks your LED program
- Spec → BOM optimization: driver PF/THD targets, surge class by geography, optics (lens vs reflector), thermal path (MCPCB/slug, TIM), coating stack by ISO 12944 environment where required.
- Right factories: CRS-experienced luminaire lines; driver plants with automated ATE/ICT/burn-in; housing vendors (PDC + machining + powder/Anodize).
- Samples → approvals: EVT/DVT builds with LM-79 and EMC packs; pilot run with IP/IK and reliability (ISTMT, on/off cycling).
- Compliance for each market: BIS-CRS (India), LM-79/EMC packs for DLC/CE/UKCA routes, BEE for lamp SKUs; photobiological risk-group labelling.
- Cost & continuity: multi-source LED/driver options; VA/VE on heat sinks, optics, and PCB layer counts; yield dashboards from ICT/ATE.
