Labsphere, through its exclusive UK distributor Pro-Lite Technology, has supplied a custom two-meter integrating sphere system to lighting manufacturer Aurora Lighting for use in its new light lab. Aurora provides energy efficient LED lighting solutions under the 'Aurora', 'A2', 'Luna', 'Sola', and 'Aura' brands. Also, the company develops and manufactures power, control, luminaires and lamps on an OEM basis for customers.
Pro-Lite, which provides test solutions for the UK lighting industry, and Labsphere provided a two meter integrating sphere equipped with a Labsphere spectroradiometer to provide precise LED measurement data. This system was custom designed to fit Aurora's specifications. The integrating sphere is reportedly more accurate than a traditional photometer, it measures lumen output, color temperature, color rendering index, chromaticity, and binning accuracy.
Labsphere says that the precision of the data allows complex lighting projects to be designed and tested with confidence in the final results. Aurora has installed the Labsphere testing system in its Light Lab A.L.E.X. 2.0 in Apex Park, Welwyn Garden City, England. The facility allows visitors to experience the differences between halogen, CFL, and LED light sources, including the color temperature of the different sources.
