GL SPECTIS 1.0 Touch + Flicker Usage
Every important metric, one device
In the UK, when Chelsea Arena erected the first “flicker-free” football stadium lighting, GL Optic was asked to supply a device that could be used as an auditing tool to check the recently installed lights. In addition to determining if the installation was flicker-free, the contractor had to assess the photometric and colorimetric parameters, such as illumination [lx], color temperature (CCT), color rendering qualities of LED (CRI), and television index (TI).
In order to improve on our current GL SPECTIS 1.0 Touch, this initiative led to the development of the GL SPECTIS 1.0 Touch + Flicker, which combines an additional electrical circuit board with a fast photodiode to record the optical flicker characteristics. The end product may be the greatest portable flicker spectroradiometer available. covering a rather large frequency range with precision comparable to certain lab instruments.
GL Optic is actively involved in a working group led by Philips (now Signify) that is responsible for creating new flicker metric standards for the industry. Because of our direct collaboration, we are able to use Philips’ reference standard to compare and assess our accuracy on a daily basis. In order to evaluate how the lighting installation can affect human visibility performance, we can also incorporate the most recent flicker measures, such as flicker index, flicker percent, and flicker frequency, along with the most recent SVM (Stroboscopic Visibility Measure), a new standard.
A portable light spectrometer with an intuitive touchscreen interface that works well in both the lab and the field is the GL SPECTIS 1.0 Touch + Flicker meter. This gadget is unique in its own right, offering a broad suite of accessories along with a range of software analytical capabilities.
GL SPECTIS 1.0 Touch + Flicker Features
Reliable, precise and intuitively operated spectral instrument
The GL Spectis 1.0 Touch + Flicker meter is a spectral instrument for light measurement that is easy to use and offers dependable and accurate optical performance. Reliable light assessment is no longer limited to professionals or outside labs. Our individually calibrated, preconfigured measurement instruments produce findings quickly and accurately, and the software that comes with the package offers powerful automation and analysis features that produce meaningful results.
Spectral and photodiode measurements
Light measuring applications are the focus of the design and setup of GL Optic light spectrometers. A common add-on that makes accurate light measuring possible is the B-class cosine-corrected measurement head. The optical flicker signal response is now simultaneously recorded by adding a photodiode with quick readout electronics adjacent to the conventional diffusor. You may examine the data and the graph displaying the wave shape, height, and frequency right on the touch screen. You can even enlarge the image to see more details. The extra GL SPECTROSOFT PRO license offers additional analytical and reporting features.
