Fluorescent Lighting (ME-T5 Adaptor) Quality Control & EMC Test Results
We care just as much about the handful of adaptors that fail as the thousands of adaptors we sell and install every month.
At the start of each year we set ourselves a ‘failed in use’ target for the coming year. We expect to fall below this target and we expect the target to get smaller each year.
Our quality control starts at the design stage. The circuit board layout, the case design and the case size and venting have all been designed to allow the ME-T5 adaptor to run at a low temperature. The lower the temperature the ME-T5 adaptor runs at, the longer it will last.
We then specify the components used inside the ME-T5 adaptor. The use of top quality components from the world leaders in their respective fields helps us to make a class-leading product.
Having made the best possible product, we then test it, just to make sure. Every ME-T5 adaptor has been tested for three hours at the factory. 10% of adaptors are tested for a full 24 hours before shipping to the UK.
Upon arrival in the UK we test every single adaptor for a further three hours on our purpose built test rigs.

Every month, a random sample of each type of adaptor is confidence checked to ensure EMC compliance, at a UKAS test centre.
Having checked them electrically, the test units are then pulled apart to make absolutely certain that the ME-T5 adaptor has been produced to our exact requirements.
Only then are the ME-T5 adaptors packed and sent to our customers.
This lengthy process helps to ensure that the ME-T5 adaptor is - in our opinion – the most reliable available in Europe. This is not an idle boast – its what our clients tell us, and what we constantly strive to maintain.
