Product catalog summary
Introduction to Mavospec Base:
The Mavospec Base is an advanced spectrometer designed to provide precise photometric measurements, addressing the unique spectral characteristics of LED lighting compared to traditional light sources.
Key Factors in Lighting Design:
LEDs have distinct spectral properties, with brightness and color variations due to manufacturing. Traditional light sources like daylight and incandescent bulbs have a CRI of 100, a benchmark not yet reached by LEDs. The Mavospec Base evaluates blended light environments by measuring spectrum, chromaticity, color temperature, CRI, and flicker.
Applications of Mavospec Base:
  • Lamp Development and Manufacturing: Ensures quality through monitoring and evaluation.
  • Interior and Lighting Design: Assists in selecting and coordinating light sources.
  • Medical Technology: Tests illuminance and color rendering for dental rooms.
  • Wholesale and Retail: Ensures quality by examining light sources.
  • Electrical Installation: Examines lamps for light and color quality.
  • Human Centric Lighting Research: Studies the biological influence of light on humans.
Technical Specifications and Features:
The Mavospec Base offers intuitive operation, a color display, and measurement stability. It provides photometric and radiometric calibration with a report, supports data storage on an SD card, and allows easy data transfer to a PC.
Measurement Parameters:
  • Spectral Power Distribution (SPD): Indicates radiant power, crucial for color characteristics.
  • Color Coordinates: Define chromaticity using CIE standards.
  • Illuminance: Measures light intensity on a surface in lux.
  • Color Temperature: Quantifies color impression in Kelvin.
  • Flicker: Measures brightness fluctuations impacting health.
  • Color Rendering Index (CRI): Evaluates color rendering properties, with a maximum of 100.
Conclusion:
The Mavospec Base is a cutting-edge tool for precise light measurement, suitable for various industries, ensuring optimal lighting conditions and compliance with standards.
Maintenance and Calibration:
Regular maintenance, recalibration, and software updates are required. Calibration is recommended every 12-24 months at the GOSSEN Light Lab, accredited by DAkkS and following DIN EN ISO standards.
Photometry Specifications:
Suitable for daylight, LEDs, and halogen lighting, measuring illuminance from 10 lx to 100,000 lx, color temperature, CRI, peak and dominant wavelengths, color purity, chromaticity coordinates, and flicker.
Operation, Interfaces, and Memory:
Features a 2.1" color TFT display, three keys, and a ring controller. Includes a USB 2.0 interface and 4 GB micro SD storage for 1 million measurements. Data stored in CSV format with manual or automatic modes.
Sensor Technology and Measurement Tolerances:
Utilizes a CMOS image sensor with a spectral range of 380-780 nm. Measurement uncertainties are ±3% for illuminance, ±0.0005% for chromaticity, ±2% for CCT, and ±1.5% for CRI and flicker.
Miscellaneous Features:
Powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery with ≥ 8 hours life. Operates within 5-40°C. Dimensions: 139 mm x 60 mm x 30 mm, weight: 150 g. Comes with a case, sheath, USB cable, power pack, strap, 4 GB micro SD card, and instructions. Optional accessories include a replacement battery.
Product Information:
Model: MAVOSPEC BASE, Article number: M521G. Manufactured by Foto- und Lichtmesstechnik GmbH, Nürnberg, Germany.
