Luminance imaging

Absolute point-by-point Luminance measurement over an area

Imaging luminance meter measures luminance values simultaneously at each point of the measurement area. From this matrix of luminance values different parameters like average, variation, maximum and minimum of luminance are calculated.

Applications of luminance imaging

'average luminance' (Luminance-HLLS) measurement as defined by ecodesign directive for light sources (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32019R2020&rid=6)
the average luminance is measured over the light-emitting area where the luminance is more than 50 % of the peak luminance (cd/mm2)
with luminance imaging this area can be easily determined
Display testing (ST 431-1, ISO 2910)
variation of brightness (luminance) over a display can be easily revealed
Road lighting
Design criteria for Illumination at tunnel entrance (CIE 088)
Illumination inside a tunnel (CIE 088)
illumination of road surfaces (EN 13201)
Luminance contrast of small details
Elevator etc, control buttons
automotive dashboard lights and control buttons
UGR determination of luminaires
Automated luminous area measurements when connected with the gonio
Determination of effective luminous area of Non-uniform sources (CIE 232:2019)
Emergency lighting
Measurement of luminance and contrast (EN-60598-2-22)
