Overview table<\/h3>\n

\"flood_30w_summary2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The overview table<\/a> is explained on the OliNo website. Please note that this overview table makes use of calculations, use this data with care as explained on the OliNo site. E (lux) values are not accurate, when within 5 x 217 mm (diagonal length) \u2248 1100 mm. Within this distance from the lamp, the measured lux values willl be less than the computed values in this overview as the measurements are then within the near field of the lamp.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Eulumdat light diagram<\/h3>\n

This light diagram below comes from the program Qlumedit<\/a>, that extracts these diagrams from an Eulumdat<\/a> file. It is explained<\/a> on the OliNo site.<\/p>\n

\"flood_30w_light_diagram\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The light diagram giving the radiation pattern.<\/em><\/p>\n

It indicates the luminous intensity around the light bulb. The plane C90-C270 (along the length direction of the lamp) has a little smaller beam than the C0-C180 (crosses the longest side of the lamp).<\/p>\n

Illuminance Ev at 1 m distance, or luminous intensity Iv<\/h3>\n

Herewith the plot of the averaged<\/em> luminous intensity Iv as a function of the inclination angle with the light bulb.<\/p>\n

\"flood_30w_pp_avg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The radiation pattern<\/a> of the light bulb.<\/em><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

These averaged values are used (later) to compute the lumen output.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\"flood_30w_ev_dep_kantelhoek\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Intensity data of every measured turn angle at each inclination angle.<\/em><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

When using the average values per inclination angle, the beam angle<\/a> can be computed, being 121-123\u00ba depending on the C-plane looked at.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Luminous flux<\/h3>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The result of this computation for this light spot is a luminous flux of 2182 Lm.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Luminous efficacy<\/h3>\n

The luminous flux being 2182 Lm, and the power of the light bulb being 34.2 W, yields a luminous efficacy of 64 Lm\/W.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Electrical properties<\/h3>\n

A power factor of 0.94 means that for every 1 kWh net power consumed, a reactive component of 0.4 kVAr was needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Of this light bulb the voltage across ad the resulting current through it are measured and graphed. See the OliNo site<\/a> how this is obtained.<\/p>\n

\"flood_30w_u_i_waveforms\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Voltage across and current through the lightbulb<\/em><\/p>\n

This waveforms have been checked on requirements posed by the norm IEC 61000-3-2:2006 (including up to A2:2009). See also the explanation on the OliNo website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"flood_30w_harmonics\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Harmonics in in the current waveform and checked against IEC61000-3-2:2006<\/em><\/p>\n

There are limits for the harmonics for lighting equipment > 25 W and these limits are fulfilled.<\/p>\n

The Total Harmonic Distortion of the current is computed as 24 %.<\/p>\n

The glassplate has an emissivity of 0.78, hence the same image but now the emmissivity set to a value only correct for the glassplate.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"ir_0023\"<\/a>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Temperature image between the fins of the heatsink, at different sides of the lamp. The emissivity of the material of the heatsink is close to 0.95. This is the maximum temperature seen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Color temperature and Spectral power distribution<\/h3>\n

\"flood_30w_powerspectrum_at_1m_distance\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The spectral power distribution of this light bulb, energies on y-axis valid at 1 m distance.<\/em><\/p>\n

The measured color temperature is about 5400 K which is cold white.<\/p>\n

This color temperature is measured straight underneath the light bulb. Below a graph showing the color temperature for different inclination angles.<\/p>\n

\"flood_30w_cct_function_of_incl\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Color temperature as a function of inclination angle.<\/em><\/p>\n

The measurement of CCT is measured for inclination angles up to 70\u00ba and beyond the illuminance value gets very low (< 5 lux).<\/p>\n

The maximum beam angle is 123\u00ba, meaning a 61.5\u00ba inclination angle. In this area most of the light is present. The variation in correlated color temperature in this area is about 6 %.<\/p>\n

<\/a>PAR value and PAR spectrum<\/h3>\n

To make a statement how well the light of this light bulb is for growing plants, the PAR-area needs to be determined. See the OliNo website <\/a>how this all is determined and the explanation of the graph.<\/p>\n

\"flood_30w_par_spectra_at_1m_distance\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The photon spectrum, then the sensitivity curve and as result the final PAR spectrum of the light of this light bulb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
parameter<\/th>\nvalue<\/th>\nunit<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
PAR-number<\/td>\n6.2<\/td>\n\u03bcMol\/s\/m\u00b2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
PAR-photon current<\/td>\n18.1<\/td>\n\u03bcMol\/s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
PAR-photon efficacy<\/td>\n0.5<\/td>\n\u03bcMol\/s\/W<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The PAR efficiency is 63 % (valid for the PAR wave length range of 400 – 700 nm). So maximally 63 % of the total of photons in the light 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 %).<\/p>\n

<\/a>S\/P ratio<\/h3>\n

The S\/P ratio and measurement is explained on the OliNo website<\/a>. Here the results are given.<\/p>\n

\"flood_30w_s_and_p_spectra_at_1m_distance\"<\/a>
\nThe power spectrum, sensitivity curves and resulting scotopic and photopic spectra (spectra energy content defined at 1 m distance).<\/em><\/p>\n

The S\/P ratio is 1.8.<\/p>\n

More info on S\/P ratio can be found on the OliNo website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Chromaticity diagram<\/h3>\n

\"flood_30w_chromaticity\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The chromaticity space<\/a> and the position of the lamp’s color coordinates in it.<\/em><\/p>\n

The light coming from this lamp is just inside the area designated with class A. This class A is an area that is defined for signal lamps, see also the OliNo website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Its coordinates are x=0.3354 and y=0.3640.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Color Rendering Index (CRI) or also Ra<\/h3>\n

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). Practical information and also some critics about the CRI can be found on the OliNo website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"flood_30w_cri\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CRI of the light of this lightbulb.<\/em><\/p>\n

The value of 67 is lower than 80 which is considered a minimum value for indoor usage.<\/p>\n

Note: the chromaticity difference is 0.0070 indicates the distance to the Planckian Locus<\/a>. There is no norm yet that states what the max deviation from white light is allowed to be. A reference with signal lights as a reference is given in the chromaticity<\/a> diagram.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Voltage dependency<\/h3>\n

The dependency of a number of lamp parameters on the lamp voltage is not determined.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Warm up effects<\/h3>\n

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].<\/p>\n

\"flood_30w_startupeffect\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"flood_30w_startupeffect_end\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Effect of warming up on different light bulb parameters. At top the 100 % level is put at begin, and at bottom at the end.<\/em><\/p>\n

The warm up time is about 50 minutes. During that time the illuminance decreases with 7 % and the consumed power with almost 5 %.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Measure of flickering<\/h3>\n

An analysis is done on the measure of flickering of the light output by this light bulb. See the OliNo site<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
