Test & measurement services

LightLab offers a diverse range of testing services for lighting sources. Our core photometric testing service for commercial luminaires is to the IES LM-79 standard for Solid-State Lighting Products (SSL).  Photometric and colorimetric spatial distribution data is acquired using a rotating mirror goniophotometer / goniospectroradiometer. We use a 2 m integrating sphere for additional measurements.
