ANALYSIS OF THE CHOSEN ATTRIBUTES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF LUXMETERS

Abstract

An iluminance meter is the basic and most frequently used measuring instrument in photometry. This instrument must meet a number of requirements e.g. a spectral and space correction of the photoelement in order to have the illuminance corresponding to the actual value. In the recent years, more and more photometers can be found on the market, which have generated a lot of attention because of their low price. Their individual cost is very often lower than the calibration price. On the grounds of the performed laboratory measurements, the chosen metrological attributes of commonly used luxmeters during the indoor verification of lighting parameters were analysed in the article. Instruments of high as well as low accuracy were tested. During the indoor lighting the light sources of different spectral concentration are used. Concerning this fact the individual luxmeters read-outs with light-sensitive surfaces lighted by the discharge lamp as well as LED sources were registered. Obtained results were compared with the values received during measurements carried out with the use of an electric lamp of the colour temperature T[sub]c[/sub] = 2856 K, i.e. a source, which radiation is used during the calibration of photometers. The relative and cosine errors as well as the colour correction coefficients (factors) were set down based on the carried out measurements. They were complemented with the registration of the spectral concentration locus of the light sources used during the experimental measurements.
