Case Study: LED Light Manufacturer saves over $300,000 after Envista Forensics proves manufacturing defect

LED Light Manufacturer saves over $300,000 with Envista Forensics

The customer, an LED light manufacturer, faced a challenge when an automotive warehouse experienced widespread failure of its LED light fixtures. The manufacturer initially attributed the failure to warehouse fumes. Envista Forensics was engaged, and its materials science expert performed testing, including Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis.

Envista Forensics' analysis proved the failure was due to an internal manufacturing defect that caused overheating, not external chemicals. This finding compelled the manufacturer to replace all of the defective fixtures at no cost to the client, saving them over $300,000.
