Luminous Flux

 

Two methods are used for measuring the total luminous flux of a lamp; the first one uses an integrating sphere while the second uses a goniophotometer.

The sphere and its detector are used as a transfer device between a calibrated flux lamp and the tested lamp. The goniometer measures the candela values of the whole radiation of the lamp and the lamp lumen output is achieved by integrating the scans.

When using the integrating sphere, the spectral radiant flux of the tested lamp is calculated. Lumen output, color rendering index (CRI), chromaticity (x,y) and correlated color temperature (CCT) are performed by our own software. Ballast factor can also be determined in comparison with a reference ballast.
