Bulb Drop Impact Test Equipment for Lamp Safety & Mechanical Strength Evaluation | Professional Light Testing Equipment
Product introduction
This equipment is made to mimic a light bulb falling. Its strong frame and steel base keep it steady during tests. A special clamp and instant release make sure the bulb drops straight down every time, so each test is fair. The rubber sheet on the base feels like a real floor or table, making the test results useful.
Good testing equipment should work well and be easy to use. The FL-1000 has a display and ruler for setting the drop height from 330mm to 1000mm. The clear cover keeps things safe and lets you see what's happening. Plus, there's a light inside so you can see the fall clearly. HongCe made this equipment simple to use.

Test Objects and Detectable Items
Main Test Objects:
- E17 screw-in (small Edison screw-in) bulbs
- E22/E26 screw-in (standard Edison screw-in) bulbs (Note: E26 usually requires an adapter clamp; please consult for details)
- Other small lighting products of similar shape and weight (custom clamps required).
Core Detectable Items:
- Carrier Integrity: After testing, check for cracks or leaks in the bulb's glass housing.
- Lamp Base Mechanical Strength: Assess whether the lamp base (metal screw-in part) is deformed, loose, or detached from the glass.
- Internal Structural Damage: Through subsequent electrical performance testing, indirectly determine whether the filament, LED module, or driver power supply has been damaged due to impact.
- Safety Risk Verification: Confirm that a drop will not expose live parts, posing a risk of electric shock.
