Luminous efficacy η Unit of measurement: lumen per watt [lm/W] Luminous efficacy η indicates the efficiency with which the electrical power consumed is converted into light. Color temperature Unit of measurement: kelvin [K] The color temperature of a light source is defined in comparison with a “black body radiator” and plotted on what is known as the “Planckian curve”. The higher the temperature of this “black body radiator” the greater the blue component in the spectrum and the smaller the red component. An incandescent lamp with a warm white light, for example, has a color temperature of 2,700 K, whereas a daylight fluorescent lamp has a color temperature of 6,000 K. Light color The light color of a lamp can be neatly defined in terms of color temperature. There are three main categories here: Warm White < 3,300 K Cool White 3,300–5,300 K Daylight >5,300 K Despite having the same light color, lamps may have very different color rendering properties owing to the spectral composition of their light. Color rendering As a rule, artificial light should enable the human eye to perceive colors correctly, as it would in natural daylight. Obviously, this depends to some extent on the location and purpose for which light is required. The criterion here is the color rendering property of a light source. This is expressed as a “general color rendering index” (Ra). The color rendering index is a measure of the correspondence between the color of an object (its “self-luminous color”) and its appearance under a reference light source. To determine the Ra values, eight test colors defined in accordance with DIN 6169 are illuminated with the reference light source and the light source under test. The smaller the discrepancy, the better the color rendering property of the lamp being tested. A light source with an Ra value of 100 displays all colors exactly as they appear under the reference light source. The lower the Ra value, the worse the colors are rendered. Luminaire efficiency Luminaire efficiency (also known as light output ratio) is an important criterion in gauging the energy efficiency of a luminaire. This is the ratio between the luminous flux emitted by the luminaire and the luminous flux of the lamp (or lamps) installed in the luminaire. Average life The average life of a lamp is an average of the lives of individual lamps operated under standard conditions (50 % failure = average life). Service life Service life is a simple practical measure of the economical life of a lamp. It is the number of hours of operation after which the system luminous flux (i. e. the product of the relative luminous flux and the relative proportion of lamps still in operation) is around 80 % of the initial value.
