Goniophotometer: features and performance for reliable measurements
The main features of the goniophotometer include:
- The distance between the photometric centre and the sensor is 10m
- The walls, ceiling and floor of the goniophotometer chamber are completely covered with non-reflective material
- The air-conditioned environment, in the absence of air movement, keeps the temperature constant at the values indicated by the standard
- Laboratory included in the activities of an INTERLAB working group, managed by AGILUX srl, for continuous data exchange to keep the permitted measurement uncertainty under control
- Periodic calibration of instruments
- The entire laboratory has a stabilised power supply.
Advantages of the Novalux goniophotometer
Goniophotometer and spectroradiometer measurements provide, right from the design phase, the checks and corrections to be made to the project.
This results in:
- Efficiency in controls
- Reliable and accurate measurements
One of the main advantages of the goniophotometer is its ability to accurately measure the distribution of light emitted by a source. This is crucial for designing lighting systems to meet specific regulatory and visual comfort requirements.
Another advantage is the possibility of analysing the spectral characteristics of light sources. This is important for evaluating the energy efficiency and colour rendering of LEDs and other advanced lighting technologies.
In addition, the goniophotometer enables compliance testing against international standards, ensuring that products meet safety and performance requirements .
The Novalux goniophotometer is therefore an indispensable tool for the lighting industry, offering benefits in terms of accuracy, energy efficiency and regulatory compliance.
