EMRP project: ‘Metrology for Solid State Lighting’ (ENG05 Lighting) will support the implementation of Solid State Lighting (SSL), such as LED lighting, throughout Europe with the validation of new guidelines and standards. These will enable the benefits of the technology to be quantified and clearly communicated, with specific attention paid to measurements of colour rendition and visual comfort, important for end-users.
The Solid State Lighting conference is a Measurement Network meeting providing international stakeholders with information on the results of ENG05.
More specifically it will cover the following sessions:
- Traceability - Development and validation of traceable measurement facilities and traceability routes for SSL, including pulsed efficacy and colour, spectral spatial distribution, near-field geometry and colour rendition, and environmental conditions.
- Methods - Measurement methods for the characterisation of SSL products including electrical power up to 200 kHz and environmental impact on efficacy.
- Perception - Human perception of SSL products is different from conventional lighting sources, therefore specific attention is given to colour rendition, visual comfort and mesopic vision.
- Specifications - The performance of SSL products has been evaluated by laboratory tests and field trials for most typical lighting applications. In addition, new quality metrics have been developed where required, e.g. in street lighting.
