| Date: | 13th September 2007 | | Venue: | Photonics Cluster (UK), Aston Science Park, Birmingham. B7 4BB | | Event: | Practical Light and Colour Measurement Course | | Course Lecturer: | Robert Yeo, ProLite Technology | | Places: | 8 |
Objectives
This course provides a foundation in the measurement, analysis and application of the fundamental lighting quantities used on a daily basis by those practicing LED lighting design, and more widely, engineers and technicians engaged in photometry work within the lighting and displays industry. The course is structured to enable the attendee to master both knowledge and skills that are critical for engineers and designers, and that in many cases are important for a wide range of engineering and marketing practices. The course content will cover the fundamentals in photometry and colorimetry and practical aspects of measurements of luminous flux, luminous intensity, illuminance, colour temperature, and chromaticity of light sources through a hands-on session using the latest light and colour measurement tools available today. By the end of the course, you will have an in-depth understanding of the measurement of the fundamental quantities of lighting: illuminance, luminance, reflectance, luminous flux and luminous intensity. These quantities form the underpinnings of data used every day in lighting practice. Starting from a background of measurement theory, you will gain hands-on knowledge of the instruments and procedures used in measuring these quantities, and will understand the sources of error in lighting measurements and calculations. The delegate will also learn about commercial photometric measurement in the lighting industry and a review of the types of equipment used for photometry and where they should or should not be applied.
