How to do street light photometric measurement according to CIE 121 using a goniophotometer?

Image
The process of measuring the light output of street lights and evaluating the data to derive critical characteristics such as luminous intensity, luminous flux, chromaticity coordinates, color temperature, and color rendering index is referred to as street light photometric measurement (CRI). The purpose of this measurement is to guarantee that street lights provide an accurate, consistent, and high-quality amount of light that is in accordance with the standards set by the industry. Position the goniophotometer in an area that is devoid of impediments and is representative of the setting in which the street light is meant to function. Place the street light in the appropriate location on the goniophotometer and check to see that it is secured firmly. Adjust the settings on the goniophotometer to guarantee precise readings by adjusting the settings on the goniophotometer in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The goniophotometer should then be positioned a

How to do photometry test for outdoor lights according to CIE 121?

Image
The following procedures are required to complete the photometry test for outdoor lights in accordance with the standard CIE 121 established by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE): Preparation: Collect all the essential tools, such as a photometer, goniometer, and a source of reference light. Make certain that the testing setting is appropriate, with a consistent and well-managed amount of ambient light. Prepare the test sample, which may be anything like an outside light fixture, by making sure that it is correctly placed and in good functioning condition. Calibration: Follow the directions provided by the manufacturer to properly calibrate both the photometer and the goniometer. Check if the measuring equipment is accurate by comparing the results of the measurements you took with the reference light source to the photometric values that are already known about it. Measurement: Position the photometer so that it is a predetermined distance from the s
