Best Answer

When you want test led or others lighting luminous flux, according to CIE and others relevant standards, there have two way; one is use integrating sphere and spectrophotometer test system, this way is economic measure solution, and the test result have high accuracy, most of will use LPCE-2 High Pescision Spectroradiometer Integrating Sphere System, this instrument suitablle most of light manufacture and some test lab; another way is use Goniophotometer, this one main for test Optical Parameters, like total luminous flux, light distribution intensity cruve etc and export IES files, this test solution will be more expensive than LPCE-2 Test System, but this one is very important and necessary for all manufacture and national test lab, third party lab etc, and mose of user will choice LSG-1800B High Precision Rotation Luminaire Goniophotometer, this one have higher cost performance cost, and export IES files.

How do you test LED Street Lamp?

When you want test LED street, you should know what's parameters you want test. And there have many things need to test, but mian for light luminous flux, color temperature, color redening index, light distribution intensity cruve, IES files. And there have two equipments to test these parameters, one is Spectroradiometer and integrating sphere system, like Lisun LPCE-2(LMS-9000A) Spectroradiomeetr and Integrating Sphere Test System, this one is for lumen, CCT, CRI etc test; another is Goniophotometer System.


How many lumen in a 25 watt incandescent light bulb?

a 100W incandescent lamp emits 120 candela.lumen is the unit for luminous intensity per steradian ,an lamp emits in all directiontherefore a 16.25watt lamp contains 19.5 lumenAnswerThe lumen is the SI unit for luminous flux -which describes the output power of visible light expressed in photometric units. The ratio of a lamp's output luminous flux to its input power is termed 'efficacy', expressed in lumens per watt. The efficacy for incandescent lamp varies from 5-15 lumens per watt. So the output of a 16.25-W incandescent lamp will be between 80-245 W.


Difference between flux linkage and flux leakage?

i) leakage flux is those flux which goes through the air and linkage flux is those flux whose go through the cell. ii)leakage flux is the loss at flux but linkage flu is warning flux. iii)leakage flux is cause of eddy current loss and linkage flux is case of copper loss.


What is the LM-80 for LED Lumen Maintenance Test?

IESNA-LM-80 (Measuring Lumen Maintenance of LED Light sources) is an approved method by Lighting Engineering Association of North America (IESNA) for the third generation SSL products; it mentioned the measurement standard and method. The main purpose is that measure and records the LED lumen maintenance change along with time, in other word, it is applied to test LED aging life. Compare with the traditional light source, theoretically LED life can reach to 50000 hours. So it is hard to test the LED life, because it is impossible to light up the LED till it dies, and it is also unworkable because there are so many different types and different power of LED, if the problem can not solve, it will become a big resistance to develop and push LED products. Considering the real situation, IESNA passed the LM-80-08 approved method, which provides the guidance and specification for measuring and recording LED lumen vs time, and calculate the life time of LED luminaires in the end. Also it solves an urgent problem for LED industry. When we say LED lumen maintenance and LED aging life, we will talk about LM-80, TM-21, TM-82 and etc. so it is necessary to explain them. LM-80-08 put forward the measurement method and then obtains the data, TM-21 put forward the calculate method and then obtains the data. In those standards, they mentioned L70, L50, L30 And etc. that means the time to 70% lumen maintenance, time to 50% lumen maintenance and time to 30% lumen maintenance. From the data, we can find lumen changing along with the time. Generally speaking, time to 70% lumen maintenance will be defined as the LED life. According to LM-80, the test time should be no less than 6000h, and 10000h is recommended. And during the test, temperature is limited at three points, first one is 55℃,second one is 85℃,and the third one is depends on the manufacturer. And generally, the test report should includes the following information: number of LED light source test, description of LED light source, description of auxiliary device, operating cycle, ambient conditions including airflow, temperature and relative humidity, Drive current of the LED light source during lifetime test, Initial luminous flux and forward voltage at photometric measurement current, Lumen maintenance data for each individual LED light source along with median value, standard deviation, minimum and maximum lumen maintenance value for all of the LED light sources, Observation of LED light source failures including the failure conditions and time of failure, LED light source monitoring interval, Photometric measurement uncertainty, Chromaticity shift reported over the measurement time. LPCE-2(LMS-9000A) high accuracy spectroradiometer and integrating sphere test system, this system not only meet the requirements of CIE, EN and lm-79 clause 9.1, and also meet the requirements of LM-80. Base on the normal function, Lisun's engineer developed new software to meet the requirements of LM-80. So LPCE-2 has two software, one is to test the luminous flux, color temperature, color rending index, wavelength, spectrum, light efficiency and etc. the other is to test and record the data of lumen vs time, according to the data, we can generally predict the LED life. But the main function for this system is to test the photoelectric and colorimetric parameters of LED, so it is not a standard way to test LED life, the test result and test report can not regarded as the final evaluation. But along with the technology developing, LISUN push LEDLM-80PL LED lumen maintenance and life test system into the market, this system is designed according to LM-80-08, TM-82, TM-21 and etc. so it is completely meet the relevant standards. LEDLM-80PL is developed base on the mature system of LPCE-2 (LMS-9000A). In the hardware, LEDLM-80PL still adopts the high accuracy CCD spectroradiometer to keep the high precision. And the most important is the software, the software absorbs the essence of the LPCE - 2, and then combine Arrhenius model to build a newly reliable LED life predict software. Users will only need to test the lamp for hundreds of hours under certain temperature, then the software will calculate the time to 70% (50%, 30%) lumen maintenance at this temperature, it will greatly help to improve the test efficiency and the accuracy and reliability of LED lumen maintenance testing.

Compare lumen's per watt in incandescent vs LED?

To determine the answer you need to know the efficacy (luminous flux) of the LED light which may range from 30-90. You can use 60 for an average. Multiply the watts from an incandescent bulb - what you are familiar with - say 40 watts x the LED luminous flux 60 = comparable lumens of about 2400 to see the same brightness.

How do you test led distribution intensity curve and export IES files?

when you want to test led distribution intensity curve and IES files, we will be talk this kind of equipment which is goniophotometer. This device is an automatic light distribution intensity 3D curve testing system. It can test many Optical parameters, like total luminous flux, zonal luminous flux etc. According to IESNA-LM-79-08, we will talk the rotating mirror goniophotometer, like LSG-2000 Goniophotometer with Rotating Mirror, this kind of goniophotometer can fully meet demand, it combined all advantages of goniophotometer, the test result have high accuracy.


What is the difference between a lumen and a candela?

The candela measures luminous intensity, whereas the lumen measures luminous flux. In simple terms, you can think of luminous intensity as being similar to 'brightness', while luminous flux is similar to the rate at which light leaves its source.
