Press Release Pro-Lite's Near-Field Goniophotometer to Aid the ...

ProSource software is also able to generate standard photometric files in the IESNA (.ies) andEULUMDAT (.ldt) format from the far-field data. The photometric data reported also includes theluminous flux (in lumens) and the light output ratio (LOR) of the luminaire, which is a measure of theluminaire’s efficiency.The main attraction of the PM-NFMS will be that it provides manufacturers with immediate access to anin-house test capability. This will mean that new products can be brought to market more quickly and atlower cost. Product development cycles will be reduced and new innovations tested quickly to establishtheir feasibility. Standard photometric data is generated at the click of a mouse which will help promotethe use of a particular luminaire in a project. In addition, the cost of luminaire testing will fall dramaticallyas near-field measurements do not require a large dark room and the cost of the near-fieldgoniophotometer system hardware is also a fraction of the price of a traditional far-field system.Web link: http://www.pro-lite.co.uk/File/PM-NFMS.phpAbout Pro-Lite: Pro-Lite is a specialist distributor providing value-added service to the laser and opticalradiation measurement communities in the UK and Ireland.
