Objectives
The course majors on how to get the right results (and how to avoid common mistakes) when measuring the output of LEDs and other light sources.
The key topics addressed in the course include:
• Light and how we see it.
• Using the correct units to define light source outputs.
• Using numbers to describe the colour of light.
• The importance of colour rendering.
• Choosing the right equipment.
• How to measure LEDs accurately.
The course provides an overview of the units used to define the output of LEDs, LED clusters and other light sources, as well as describing the type of equipment typically used in their measurement.
The course content covers the fundamentals of photometry and colorimetry and the practical aspects of the measurement of luminous flux, luminous intensity, illuminance, colour temperature, and chromaticity of light sources. The delegate also learns how to specify and use equipment to perform photometric, colorimetric and spectroradiometric measurements on LEDs, displays and other light sources.
Who should attend:
The course is intended for scientists, engineers, technicians, product planners, marketing managers and designers involved with the development or marketing of lighting systems or the assessment of LED technology on current or future products within industries such as lighting, displays, automotive, avionics, medical, healthcare, instrumentation, signals and others.
