SAFETY
front runner in becoming the benchmark
standard in testing solid state luminaire
photometrics, and has been adopted by most top
tier manufacturers, including HELLA Mining. In
simple terms, the test will determine the effective
light output of a luminaire, ideally using
specialised photometric equipment in a NATA
accredited laboratory. For the purpose of this
comparison, only data obtained using the LM-79-
08 standard is utilised.
“The correct way to measure the light output
of head- and work lights is usage of a
goniometer. This instrument measures defined
sphere angles, normally 90o in all directions (a
half sphere). As a result we get the nominal
illumination values of all detected section angles.
With our software Helios, we analyse the
measured values and generate th
