Photometry
Testing of light sources and advanced lighting systems
Our photometric specialists provide comprehensive and independent testing and certification services to ensure the safety, performance, and compliance of lighting products with national and international standards. With advanced techniques and in-depth expertise, we help manufacturers develop products that not only meet legal requirements but also contribute to comfort, efficiency, and innovation in an increasingly demanding market. Learn more about how we ensure product safety and compliance.
Photometry is the science of measuring light as humans see it, focusing on brightness and visible effects rather than just raw energy. It is essential in ensuring lighting products are safe, efficient, and comfortable to use. Photometry plays a key role in product safety by checking that light sources meet necessary standards to protect users.
Our engineers use various techniques to determine the specific photometric properties of your product. Our services include characterizing spectral distribution, lamp efficiency, luminous flux, UV levels, and reflection and transmission. Additionally, we conduct photobiological safety tests to prevent light-induced harm to end users. These tests are an essential part of our photometric services.
Photometry for Smart Lighting Systems
Lighting plays a crucial role in the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the development of connected, smart homes, buildings, and cities. Smart lighting systems, with a wide range of innovative functionalities, also face new challenges in the field of cybersecurity. Stricter regulations and higher standards make it essential to ensure the safety and performance of new lighting products. DEKRA's photometric testing specialists help our clients fully meet these responsibilities.
