Scope

GB/T 44473-2024 is the English-translated version of 植物照明用LED灯、LED灯具和LED模块 性能规范.

GB/T 44473-2024 is the performance specification for LED lamps, luminaires and modules used in horticultural lighting. China makes most of the world's grow lights, and the sector has been characterised by claims that cannot be compared: wattage quoted instead of photon output, photosynthetic photon flux stated without the waveband it was integrated over, and lifetime figures borrowed from general lighting although these fixtures run sixteen hours a day in a hot, humid, corrosive environment. The standard sets the categories, the labelling requirements, the electrical parameter requirements, the light radiation parameters that actually matter for plants, the environmental characteristics requirements, and the size, mass and construction requirements, together with the test methods and the sample sizes for compliance testing. It takes effect on 1 June 2025.
