How to test LED fixture for startup, rise time and flicker

Image
In recent years, the LED market has been expanding, which is attributed to the unique characteristics of LED solid-state lighting products, such as good luminous efficiency, long service life and high reliability .Therefore, LED solid-state lighting products are increasingly favored by the market and consumers. But at the same time, because of the fast response speed of LED and the lack of thermal inertia and afterglow effect of traditional lamps, the LED is deeply affected by the current fluctuation, which directly affects the output of light flux. The flicker of light source is the external reflection of the change of light flux. Therefore, the flicker of LED lighting products has attracted people's attention. In this regard, on December 14, 2012, the European Union (EU) officially issued regulation NO. 1194/2012 in its official gazette, "implementation details of directive NO. 2009/125/EC of the European parliament and the European council on ecological design requirement...

In both cases it is also an approved method that describes the procedures that must be followed and the precautions that must be observed when making accurate reproducible measurements of the total, radiant or photonic luminous flux; electric power; system efficiency; distribution of light, radiant or photonic intensity and amounts of color and/or spectrum of solid state lighting (SSL) products for lighting purposes, ...

Characteristics of LISUN GDJS series High and Low Temperature Humidity Chamber

LISUN GDJS series High and Low Temperature Humidity Chamber  is according to IEC60068-2-1 (GB/T2423.1) and IEC60068-2-2 (GB/T2423.2). It is used to test the CFL/LED which meets IES LM-80-08, electricity products, electronic components, material and so on. There is some other manufacturers in China also produce High and Low Temperature Humidity Chamber, and our equipment is mainly different from the following four points: (1) Display temperature: We use Schneider or Omron’s relay. And the temperature that can be reached is the temperature under load. But many manufacturers refers to the temperature without load. If under load, the temperature must be different from the original temperature. (2) Water purification device: To generate humidity inside the equipment, there must be distilled water. And there is a water purification device in our High and Low Temperature Humidity Chamber, so we can use tap water directly, to save the cost of distilled water. But many ...

How To Build The Darkroom For Goniophotometer?

Image
Goniophotometer  is mainly used for light intensity performance measurement of luminaries and light source, which is the photometry value in different directions in space and color distribution. Goniophotometer should run in dark room, and what are the requirements for the test environment? The size requirements for dark room: for example, such as LISUN LSG-5000 LM-79 Type C Mirror Goniophotometer System . According to CIE requirement, dark room consists of 2 parts, the recommended size of the dark room for Goniometric Rotating Console is W5.0m*L5.0m*H5.9m;  the recommended size of the dark room for Photometric Light Path is W1.5m*H1.5m*L(15m – 30m). According to the requirements of CIE, the recommended distance between lamp and photo detector is 6 times than the diameter of lamp. The recommended size of operating room is no less than W3m*L3m. LISUN GROUP engineer dept will submit the Lab Design support documents according to the customer’s real lab size after the formal pur...

Darkroom Design for a Goniophotometer

Image
As the most important part of the lighting test, the main function of the  goniophotometer  is to measure the absolute luminous intensity. At the same time, it can measure other parameters such as lumen and illuminance.  Because of the different testing principle, compared with the  integrating sphere spectroradiometer system , the device is more suitable for the measurement of the overall luminaire. Carrying the measurement with goniophotometer, the standard darkroom is needed. If the darkroom does not meet the requirements, it is likely to affect the final test results, which will lead to the deformation of distribution curve and the inaccurate results of lumen. And the final IES file will not meet the requirements, that will affect the final test results. According to the requirements of the test environment in LM-79 and CIE-70, this paper makes a brief introduction to the selection of darkroom: Temperature requirements: According to the requirements of CI...

How to measuring LED lamp start, run up time and flicker effectively?

Due to the LED solid-state lighting products have good luminous efficiency, long life and high reliability unique characteristics, so it’s became more popular by markets and customers. But at the same time, the LED solid lighting have fast response characteristics, it haven’t thermal inertia and afterglow effects, like traditional lamps, so it have big influence by current fluctuations, the current fluctuations affect the luminous flux output directly, the lighting flashing is the external expression of luminous flux change, that caused more and more people focus on lighting flashing issue.  Dated 14th December, 2012, the EU officially released the (EU) NO 1194/2012 rules <Implementing rules of the European Parliament and the EU Council Directive 2009/125/EC on the eco-design requirements of directional lights, LED lights and related equipment requirements>.Compared with <European Parliament and Council Directive 2005/32/EC implementing rules for non-directional household ...

Equivalent Test Between Normal & High Frequency Fluorescent Lamp and LED Tube

Image
Comparing with traditional fluorescent lamp, the LED tube have high light effects, low power consume, long life time and stable luminous efficiency advantages etc. At the same time, for the LED tube performance testing is became more simple, in recent years more and more customers has chosen the LED tube to replace fluorescent lamp. Due to the main lighting products are consist of traditional fluorescent lamp, like the CFL and fluorescent lamp are still occupy a large part of market, it’s impossible to replace all of them immediately, specially at the business centre and market still have many fluorescent lamps and compacted lighting products; if replace all fluorescent lamp to LED tube, it’s need lots of tome and huge cost, the most important is this way can’t be approved. In order to make replacement work more effective, the IEC issued the IEC 62776 standard dated December of 2014, this standard explain how to do equivalent test between normal & high frequency fluorescent lamp ...
