Fundamental Testing Principles of Goniophotometry

Goniophotometers operate on the principle of measuring luminous intensity distribution by rotating a light source or detector across spherical coordinates (C-γ or A-α systems). The LSG-6000 and LSG-1890B utilize a Type C (moving detector, fixed light source) configuration, ensuring minimal measurement distortion.

Key measurement parameters include:

• Luminous Flux (lm): Total light output calculated via angular integration.
• Beam Angle (°): Angular width where intensity drops to 50% of peak.
• Renk Tekdüzeliği: Spatial consistency of chromaticity coordinates (CIE 1931/1976).
• Glare Evaluation: UGR (Unified Glare Rating) for indoor lighting compliance.

Data is processed through proprietary algorithms, generating IES/LDT dosyaları for lighting simulation software such as Dialux and Relux.
