LED lamp goniophotometer for IEC/EN standard

Image
The photometric performance of LED lights may be measured with the use of a device known as an LED lamp goniophotometer that has been built to fulfill the requirements of the IEC/EN standard. Standards for photometric measurements of LED lighting products are provided by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as well as the European standardizing authority (EN). A goniophotometer is a specialized device that measures the amount of luminous intensity emitted by a light source from a variety of angles. LED lamp goniophotometers work by rotating the LED lamp while simultaneously measuring the quantity of light emitted in a number of different directions. This information is used to build a photometric distribution pattern, which gives a representation of the light output of the LED lamp across a broad range of angles. This pattern may be used to optimize the light output of the LED lamp. The IEC and EN standards detail the processes and procedures that must be followed i
