Overview table

Please note that this overview table makes use of calculations, use this data with care as explained on the OliNo site.

EU 2013 Energy label classification

Since Sept 2013 these labels will be needed.

Important for the energy classification are the corrected rated power and the useful luminous flux.
The measured rated power is 30.1 W and might need to be corrected. The correction is dependent from the lamp type and whether or not the lamp control gear is included or not. The choice for this lamp is the following classification: Lamps with own control gear (external or internal). As a result the corrected rated power becomes: 30.1 W.
The luminous flux measured is 3448 lm. The classification of this lamp needed to determine the useful flux is: Non-directional lamps. Then the useful flux becomes 3448 lm. Now a reference power can be calculated.

The energy efficiency coefficient is P_corr / P_ref = 0.12.

Eulumdat light diagram

This light diagram below comes from the program Qlumedit, that extracts these diagrams from an Eulumdat file.

The light diagram giving the radiation pattern.

The light diagram indicates the beam in the C0-C180 plane and in the plane perpendicular to that, the C90-C270 plane. These beams are equal as the lamp has symmetry over its first axis (the vertical axis).

Illuminance Ev at 1 m distance, or luminous intensity Iv

Herewith the plot of the averaged luminous intensity Iv as a function of the inclination angle with the light bulb.

The radiation pattern of the light bulb.

This radiation pattern is the average of the light output of the light diagram given earlier. Also, in this graph the luminous intensity is given in Cd.

These averaged values are used (later) to compute the lumen output.

Intensity data of every measured turn angle at each inclination angle.

This plot shows per inclination angle the intensity measurement results for each turn angle at that inclination angle. There normally are differences in illuminance values for different turn angles. However for further calculations the averaged values will be used.

When using the average values per inclination angle, the beam angle can be computed, being 115 deg for the C0-C180 plane and 115 deg for the C90-C270 plane.

Luminous flux

With the averaged illuminance data at 1 m distance, taken from the graph showing the averaged radiation pattern, it is possible to compute the luminous flux.

The result of this computation for this light spot is a luminous flux of 3448 lm.

Luminous efficacy

The luminous flux being 3448 lm, and the consumed power of the lamp being 30.1 Watt, results in a luminous efficacy of 115 lm/Watt.

Electrical properties

The power factor is 0.97. An electrical load with this power factor means that for every 1 kWh net energy consumed, there has been 0.23 kVAhr for reactive energy.

Voltage across and current through the lightbulb

This current waveform has been checked on requirements posed by the norm IEC 61000-3-2:2006 (including up to A2:2009).

Harmonics in the current waveform and checked against IEC61000-3-2:2006 and A2:2009

When the consumed power is 25 W there are limits for the harmonics and those are fulfilled.

The Total Harmonic Distortion of the current is computed and its value is 8 %.

Inrush current

The inrush current has been measured for different voltage start angles; from 0 – 170 degrees with a 10 degrees step. The current- and voltage values have been acquires at a sample speed of 39.9 kS/s. Then this data has been fed into a second order 2kHz low pass Butterworth filter. This removes the current spikes that do not represent relevant values.
The lamp was two minutes off before every inrush current measurement was made.

Frequency of the voltage	50.0 Hz
Maximum inrush current	1.226 A	This current has been found at a voltage start angle of 80 degrees.
Pulse width of max inrush current	3.0E-4 s	This is the time that the pulse is higher than 10 % of the max inrush current.
Minimal inrush current	0.070 A	This current has been found at a voltage start angle of 0 degrees.

Color temperature and Spectral power distribution

The spectral power distribution of this light bulb, energies on y-axis valid at 1 m distance.

The measured color temperature is 2882 K which is warm white.

This color temperature is measured straight underneath the light bulb. Below a graph showing the color temperature for different inclination angles.

Color temperature as a function of inclination angle.

The color temperature is given for inclination angles up to 80 deg. Beyond that value the illuminance is so low ( 0.10 lux) that it has not been used for color determination of the light.

For the C0-C180 plane: the beam angle of 115 deg is equivalent to 57.3 deg inclination angle,which is the area where most of the light falls within. The maximum variation of color temperature in this inclination area is about 0 %.

For the C90-C270 plane: the beam angle of 115 deg is equivalent to 57.3 deg inclination angle,which is the area where most of the light falls within. The maximum variation of color temperature in this inclination area is about 0 %.

PAR value and PAR spectrum

To make a statement how well the light of this light bulb is for growing plants, the PAR-area needs to be determined.

The photon spectrum, then the sensitivity curve and as result the final PAR spectrum of the light of this light bulb

parameter	value	unit
PAR number	10.8	uMol/s/m^2
PAR photon current	31.5	uMol/s
PAR photon efficacy	1.0	uMol/s/W

The PAR efficiency is 64 % (valid for the PAR wave length range of 400 – 700 nm). This is the maximum percentage of the total of photons in the light that is effectively used by the average plant (since the plant might not take 100 % of the photons at the frequency where its relative sensitivity is 100 %).

S/P ratio

The power spectrum, sensitivity curves and resulting scotopic and photopic spectra (spectra energy content defined at 1 m distance).

The S/P ratio of the light coming from this lamp is 1.3.

Chromaticity diagram

The chromaticity space and the position of the lamp’s color coordinates in it.

The point of the light in this diagram is inside the area indicated with class B. This area indicates an area for signal lamps.

The color coordinates are x=0.4048 and y=0.4445.

Color Rendering Index (CRI) or also Ra

Herewith the image showing the CRI as well as how well different colors are represented (rendered). The higher the number, the better the resemblance with the color when a black body radiator would have been used (the sun, or an incandescent lamp)

Each color has an index Rx, and the first 8 indexes (R1 .. R8) are averaged to compute the Ra which is equivalent to the CRI.

CRI of the light of this lightbulb.

This value of 82 indicates how well the light of this lamp can render well a set of reference colors, this in comparison with the light of a reference source (for color temperatures 5000K a black radiator is used as reference and for color temperatures 5000K the sun or the light outside during the day).

The value of 82 is bigger than the value of 80 that is considered as a minimum for working areas in general.

Note: the chromaticity difference is -0.0007 and indicates the distance to the Planckian Locus. There is a value mentioned of max 5.4E-3 in section 5.3 of CIE 13.3-1995 however no further explanation of it.
An other reference with signal lights as a reference is given in the chromaticity diagram.

Color quality scale TM-30-15

TM-30-15 is an improved indicator (over CRI) of how well colors are rendered.
TM30-15 Rf = 82, Rg = 93.

TM-30-15-values for 99 samples for the light of this light bulb. The closer the value for a testcolor comes to 100, the more its rendition resembles that of a reference lightsource.

Voltage dependency

The dependency of a number of lamp parameters on the lamp voltage is determined. For this, the lamp voltage has been varied and its effect on the following light bulb parameters measured: illuminance E_v [lx], the lamppower P [W] and the luminous efficacy [lm/W] (this latter is estimated here by dividing the found E_v value by P).

Lamp voltage dependencies of certain light bulb parameters

There is no (significant) dependency of the illuminance when the power voltage varies between 200 – 250 V AC.
There is no (significant) dependency of the consumed power when the power voltage varies between 200 – 250 V AC.

When the voltage varies abruptly with + or – 5 V AC then this results in a variation of the illuminance of maximally 0.1 %. This difference in illuminance is not visible (when it occurs abruptly).

Warm up effects

After switch on of a cold lamp, the effect of heating up of the lamp is measured on illuminance E_v [lx], the lamppower P [W] and the luminous efficacy [lm/W].

Effect of warming up on different light bulb parameters. In the first graph the 100 % level is put at begin, and in the last graph the 100 % level is put at the end.

During the warmup time the illuminance doesn’t vary significantly ( 5 %).

During the warmup time the power doesn’t vary significantly ( 5 %).
The variation in efficacy (calculated as indication by simply dividing the illuminance by the power) during the warming up is 1 %. A very high negative value indicates a significant decrease for instance due to heating up of the lamp (decrease of lifetime).

L_lum90 [mm]	547	Dimension of brightest part of lamp in C90-C270 direction.
SSD_500lx [mm]	1538	Calculated distance where Ev = 500 lux. This computation is valid when it is in the far field of the lamp. Note: if this value 200 mm then the distance of 200 mm is taken as proposed in the norm IEC 62471:2006.
Start of far field [mm]	3868	Minimum distance at which the lamp can be seen as apoint source. In this area the Ev is linearly dependent from (1/distance)2.
300-350 nm values stuffed with 0s	yes	In the event OliNo has measured with a SpB1211 spectrometer without UV option then the irradiance data of 300-349 nm is missing. For lamps where there is already no energy content near 350 nm, the values 300-349 can also be set at zero then.

alphaAVG [rad]	0.100	Average (apparent) source angle. If average >= 0.011 rad then the exposure limit is computed with radiance Lb. Otherwise with irradiance Eb.
Exposure value [W/m^2/sr]	1.42E+0	Blue Light Hazard value for this lamp, measured straight underneath the lamp. Computation is referenced to Lb. Because the distance at 500 lux is in the near field, then this exposure value is too pessimistic and should be lower.
