I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but we are trying to find an independent lab to do the testing so we can some numbers for our light we are developing.

If anyone has any information on this it would be most valuable!
Thanks so much!

Welcome! If you are just working on developing a product you may not want to pay for official testing during development. Usually it is very pricey, you might consider what some people call "soft" testing, this would be done by someone who does not have a full accreditation but has the "real" equipment to do testing.

Thanks for the advice! Would this soft testing info be able to be used for website/packaging/advertising information?

My guess is yes. Just don't say that those numbers are ANSI. If you want to advertise your numbers as being ANSI you probably should get it properly tested.

A good trade directory is what you need.Also contact your local university especially the type that has technical subjects being taught.Last contact your local business development unit and let them earn there money by finding things out for you.

Expect to pay even for soft testing as these guys need to eat as much as you.

You are very welcome,went though something similar years ago with an on-board large water tank that would not turn a vehicle over with the weight when cornering.The local development unit sourced me a maker who made tanks with baffles in,job was good.
