How to do UGR measurement using a goniophotometer?
A goniophotometer is a device that measures the angular distribution of light emitted or reflected by a sample, it is also called UGR measurement machine . This may be accomplished in a variety of different ways. The following are the actions that need to be done to do photometric testing known as a UGR (Unified Glare Rating) with a goniophotometer: Place the goniophotometer in such a way that the light source being evaluated is situated in the exact middle of the measurement chamber. Adjust the angle of the detector to get the desired reading, which is normally between 0 degrees and 90 degrees with respect to the vertical axis. Place the light source or luminaire that is going to be evaluated within the measuring chamber of the goniophotometer. Perform an experiment in which you measure the amount of light coming in via each detector and write down the results. It is necessary to repeat steps 2 and 4 in order to collect data from a variety of angles that encompass the whole field o
