Studio LED compliance in Germany (EU)
German catalog photographers face 230 V mains, CE declarations, and buyers who expect EU energy labels even on studio gear. Spectral claims should be checked against CIE 015:2018 —not brochure CRI alone.
| Topic | Germany | US import note |
|---|---|---|
| Mains | 230 V / 50 Hz | Requires EU SKU or universal driver |
| Marking | CE + WEEE | Check ErP label in manual |
| Flicker audits | Workplace TLA limits | See IEEE 1789 test protocol |
