Led goniophotometer: what it is and how it's used
An instrument called a goniophotometer measures the amount of light reflected off an item at various angles. With the advent of LED-light sources, where the spatial distribution of light is not uniform, goniophotometers have become more popular in recent years.
A Lambertian source is
one whose illumination is uniform over its surface. Severe requirements make it
crucial that the spatial dispersion of light be considered when designing
vehicle lighting.
Both the kind of light
source and the goniophotometer have a role in determining the number of
distribution curves for luminous intensity and the measurement planes it may
select.
Three different kinds of goniophotometers are differentiated according to the measurement planes A, B, or C. By CIE 121-1996, and IES 62384 tester, the goniophotometers that are a part of the LISUN series are classified as type A goniophotometers. They are the foundational items of the Optronic Line and are the focus of ongoing development.
Uses
A goniophotometer has
several potential uses, including:
1.
Quantifying the output of a light bulb
2.
Distribution of light intensity
measurements from sources too tiny for conventional goniophotometers to capture
3.
Additional features are measurable using
color-sensor-equipped devices.
4.
The intensity of color temperature
correlation
5.
Consistency in hue
Types
This article provides
definitions for the different kinds of goniophotometers derived from the paper
"CIE 70" written by the International Commission on Illumination
(CIE).
Type A
The horizontal axis is
fixed, while the vertical axis is attached; both axes are perpendicular to the
primary direction in which the light source emits light.
Type B
Both the vertical and
horizontal axes are immovable and oriented in a manner perpendicular to the
principal direction in which the light source emits light. This ensures that
the light source is always directed in the desired direction. Types A and B
both have structures that are double columns.
This kind is used for the
grille light that is fixed in place. In the B-coordinate system, the light's
symmetry axis and the spinning supporter's horizontal axis are coaxial. In the
A-coordinate system, the two form a vertical Cross.
Type C
Single-column structures
with a fixed vertical axis perpendicular to the line of measurement and a
horizontal axis parallel to the primary output direction of the light source
make up the type C configuration.
When reduced to a single
column, the double-column structure results in the formation of the
single-column structure. It may use this kind for a spotlight, a fixed tube
lamp, or different devices. The vertical axis of the revolving supporter and
the horizontal axis of the lamp's emission are coaxial.
