Overview table<\/h3>\n

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

The overview table<\/a> is explained on the OliNo website.<\/p>\n

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 552 mm \u2248 2600 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

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

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

It indicates the luminous intensity around the light bulb. The direction or plane C0-C180 cuts the lamp in the direction crossing the length direction of the tube, and the C90-C270 plane cuts the lamp in the length direction.<\/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

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

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

\"\"<\/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. When using the average values per inclination angle, the beam angle<\/a> can be computed, being 138\u00ba in the C0-C180 plane and 104\u00ba in the C90-C270 plane.<\/p>\n

Luminous flux<\/a><\/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>. The result of this computation for this light spot is a luminous flux of 650 Lm.<\/p>\n

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

The luminous flux being 650 Lm, and the power of the light bulb being 8.8 W, yields a luminous efficacy of 73 Lm\/W.<\/p>\n

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

A power factor of 0.62 means that for every 1 kWh net power consumed, a reactive component of 1.3 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

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

There are no limits for the harmonics for lighting equipment <= 25 W.<\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/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 5750 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

\"\"<\/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 75\u00ba as beyond that angle the illuminance values are very low (< 5 lux).<\/p>\n

The beam angle is maximally 138\u00ba, meaning a 69\u00ba inclination angle. In this area most of the light is present. The variation in correlated color temperature in this area is about 1-1.5 %.<\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/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>\n1.6<\/td>\n\u03bcMol\/s\/m\u00b2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
PAR-photon current<\/td>\n6.1<\/td>\n\u03bcMol\/s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
PAR-photon efficacy<\/td>\n0.7<\/td>\n\u03bcMol\/s\/W<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The PAR efficiency is 66 % (valid for the PAR wave length range of 400 – 700 nm). So maximally 66 % 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

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

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

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

The 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 2.0.<\/p>\n

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

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

\"\"<\/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 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=0.3274 and y=0.3370.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

The value of 79 is (marginally) lower than 80 which is considered a minimum value for indoor usage.<\/p>\n

Note: the chromaticity difference is 0.0029 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

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

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].<\/p>\n

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

Lamp voltage dependencies of certain light bulb parameters, where the value at 230 V is taken as 100 %.<\/em><\/p>\n

The illuminance and consumed power do vary in a linear matter when the voltage is varied.<\/p>\n

When the voltage at 230 V varies with + and – 5 V, then the illuminance varies \u2248 1 %, so when abrupt voltage changes occur this effect is not visible in the illuminance output.<\/p>\n

Warm up effects<\/a><\/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

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

\"\"<\/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 neglectable since the illuminance nor the consumed power vary significantly.<\/p>\n

Measure of flickering<\/a><\/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
