How to test colorimetric parameters of ceiling light with an integrating sphere system?
You may use a double integrating sphere to conduct the following tests to determine the colorimetric properties of a ceiling light by following these steps:
- Prepare the integrating
sphere: To prepare the integrating sphere, first ensure that
it is spotless, free of any dust or other debris, and positioned in the correct
orientation.
- Install the light source:
Install the ceiling light in such a way that it is safe and secure in the
middle of the integrating sphere.
- Measure the light
source's luminance: Use a spectrophotometer or
colorimeter to measure the brightness of the light source in the integrating
sphere. This may be done by measuring the amount of light emitted by the light
source.
- Take down the readings as
follows: Make a note of the chromaticity coordinates, color
temperature, and associated color temperature as well as the values from the
spectrophotometer or colorimeter (CCT).
- Repeat the measurements:
If you choose, you may repeat the measurements using light of varying
intensities or color temperatures.
- Calculate the color
rendering index (CRI): Using the values that were
previously recorded, you can now calculate the color rendering index (CRI),
which is a measurement of the light source's ability to properly portray colors
in comparison to a reference light source.
Examine the findings as
follows: In order to assess the efficacy of the ceiling light, compare the
colorimetric parameters that were computed with the standards that were
established by the industry or with the specifications provided by the
manufacturer.
