What is Photometry and what is it for in Lighting?
Perhaps you have already heard about photometer or photometry in photography, but did you know that this concept is also an important tool in Lighting?
What is it?
Photometry refers to the light intensity distribution curve, which shows us how the light coming from a light source is distributed in different directions in space. In other words, the photometric curve shows the luminous distribution of the luminaires.
What is it for?
Through this tool we can specify the correct parts for each lighting project and achieve the best cost-benefit for the customer.
The quantity and quality of lighting is as important as the aesthetic aspect of the pieces, as an environment with inadequate lighting can lead to unnecessary consumption or a poorly functional light distribution.
Thus, understanding what a photometry is is essential to have access to information such as the luminous flux and light intensity of a luminaire.
How it works?
The curve graphically shows the behavior of a light source and allows the measurement of the luminous flux, both from the light source and from the luminaire itself.
During the selection of products to be applied, it is common for the manufacturer to provide photometric curves that allow information on the performance of the equipment. Tromilux has its own photogoniometer, enabling the provision of photometry of its references to its customers.
Want to know more about how to apply photometry in your project? At Tromilux, in addition to having our own photogoniometer, we have specialized professionals who can help you with your project. Get in touch with us.
