Metrology for Solid State Lighting Conference and Project Results in Teddington, UK

The results from a three year EU-funded project will be presented, covering key issues in the adoption of solid state lighting technologies such as LEDs. A conference will then look deeper into these issues.

23 April 2013 - 25 April 2013
Austria
'Metrology for Solid State Lighting' is a joint research project of the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP). The project recently came to an end and the results are being presented by researchers from 14 participating national measurement institutes at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, UK, on 23-25 April 2013.

The session on 23 April is open only to partners within the project. The session on 24 April is designed for stakeholders interested in the project results.

The conference on 25 April is open to all and will cover:

Traceability: Development and validation of traceable measurement facilities and traceability routes for solid state lighting, including pulsed efficacy and colour, spectral spatial distribution, near-field geometry and colour rendition, and environmental conditions.

Methods: Measurement methods for the characterisation of solid state lighting products including electrical power up to 200 kHz and environmental impact on efficacy.

Perception: Human perception of solid state lighting products is different from conventional lighting sources, therefore specific attention is given to colour rendition, visual comfort and mesopic vision.

Specifications: The performance of solid state lighting 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.
