Systems | Giant Testing Equipment Company Limited

LED lamps and luminaires are comprehensively characterized in development and quality control. The measurement of spatial radiation properties and luminous flux of these SSL sources is of equal interest, e.g. assignment to an energy efficiency class.

With its LGS series, Instrument Systems has developed a portfolio of far-field goniophotometers for general lighting that caters for all sample sizes, from the small LED module to the large SSL lamp. For many years our systems have been setting the standard in terms of precision and reliability. They are just as likely to be found in the light labs of established test labs as at renowned manufacturers and dealers of LED luminaires.

Key Features:

Precise and fast “on-the-fly” measurement with a high-performance photometer
Highest accuracy and flexibility due to a spectroradiometer
Integral power supply and electrical measurement of the sample
Configurable routines for recurring measurement tasks
Measuring logs and reporting functions.
Prize-winning correction procedure for position-dependent test samples
Conforms to CIE S025
Extensive accessories for sample handling

Requirements for the measurement of SSL light sources

For accurate determination of the spatial radiation properties and luminous flux of SSL sources, the angle-dependent properties must be comprehensively characterized. In general lighting the luminous intensity distribution of samples is typically measured in so-called C-levels.

The goniometric measurement system must satisfy many requirements:

Accurate and reliable measurement results
Reliable, angle-dependent determination of all spectral parameters, e.g. color coordinates, color temperature and color rendering index
Easy handling of the system
Powerful software for a wide range of analyses (e.g. energy efficiency) and export formats (e.g. IES, Eulumdat)

LGS all-in-one systems from Instrument Systems are always individually configured for the proposed measurement task and tailored to the customer’s needs. For typical measurement tasks, an LGS goniometer system comprises the following components:
