Photometry and measurement Photometry Photometry is the science of the measurement of light, in terms of its perceived brightness to the human eye. Several photometry units can be used depending on what people want to study. Symbol Luminous Intensity Luminous Flux Candela per square meter [cd/m²] For Automotive lighting industry, the most common unit is the candela. It is the SI base unit of luminous intensity –power emitted by a light source in a particular direction, weighted by the luminosity function: V(λ)-. Luminosity Function This function, determinated in 1924 by the CIE, represents the...

Illuminance is the total luminous flux incident on a surface, per unit area. It is a measurement of the intensity of the incident light. Illuminance is measured in lux. ф=I.Ω L=I/A Luminosity Intensity polar graph When the source can be considered as a point –for example a star- we have the formulas –if detector is perpendicular to the beam-: Photometric standards Photometric standards are defined according to geometries (Plane or Sphere), Units (Lux or Candela) and distances (10m for signaling and 25m or lighting). radius Surface ذݜ ðݑưݑݢĎݑҰݑ߰ݑ = Ұݑ.

Multicells Systems Multicells systems have been conceived and designed to analyze and characterize photometric properties of different products. A lens has been placed in order to make these systems more compact than any other system on the market. Cell detectors provide information about the luminous flux emitted in a particular direction. Different systems are available : Multicells System for signaling measurement (MES_S) or for lighting measurement (MES_L). Cell detectors These devices can be used to test and certify different products such as: tail, stop, turn indicator, lateral tail, DRL,...
