Project: Metrology for efficient and safe innovative lighting
Innovative solid state lighting (SSL) products based on LED technology could help reduce European energy consumption through the enhancement of electrical efficiency. The first generation of SSL products suffered from variable performance and light quality but, as the technology has matured, considerable improvements have been made. However, consumers still need improved confidence in the performance of new products coming to market. This project will develop measurement solutions and an advanced metrological framework for novel SSL products. A new set of metrics will also be developed through physiological studies to investigate safety and comfort aspects of lighting and user perception. This will enable the reliable measurement of SSL performance, covering light output, efficiency, distribution and quality, as well as safety and lifetime aspects. The results of the project will improve energy efficiency, reduce energy bills and enable consumers to make informed decisions regarding lighting products.
