The rapid pace with which new lamps and control equipment are being intro-duced today, a

24、s well as the many variations of these components, make it necessary that any document such as this one, concerned with the technical utili-zation of these products, be reviewed and updated periodically. However, it should be recognized that because of limited experience with new products, this guid

25、e may not cover all of the eccentricities exhibited by a particular product. It also should be recognized that even with frequent revisions to the guide, recently introduced components with new characteristics may not be included.INTRODUCTIONThis guide is intended to provide uniform data useful for

26、evaluating the performance of fluorescent lumi-naires for general lighting. The luminaire characteris-tics are reported in terms of intensity distribution, flux distribution and efficiency. These performance data may be developed into factors and/or tables that allow the predetermination of illumina

27、nce and luminance for any conventional plane or boundary surface.1.0 SCOPEThis guide provides adequate and uniform meth-ods for determining and reporting the photometric characteristics of indoor fluorescent luminaires. It describes characteristics of luminaires and some components, as well as the r

28、equirements for the thermal environment and proper control of the elec-trical and mechanical systems involved. This docu-ment is also concerned with general test conditions and the testing procedure best suited for achieving accurate and consistent photometric results.2.0 NORMATIVE REFERENCESNominal

The units of photometric measurement are the lumen and the candela (see ANSI/IES RP-16-10 or the IES Lighting Handbook, 10th Edition3). Color is specified in terms of CIE recommended systems.

32、nitial rat-ing of a discharge lamp occurs after the lamps first 100 hours of operation (ANSI C78.81). Cold chamber or cold spot is the location inside a fluorescent lamp with the lowest operating tempera-ture. Both the location and temperature of the cold spot are critical for optimizing lamp perfor

33、mance.4.0 AMBIENT AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS4.1 GeneralPhotometric values and electrical characteristics of fluorescent lamps and luminaires are sensitive to ambient temperature and air movement.4.2 TemperatureThe ambient temperature shall be measured at a point not more than 1 m from the luminaire and

34、 at the same height as the luminaire. Under standard conditions this temperature shall be maintained at 25C1C. Also, the temperature sensor shall be shielded from the luminaire and radiation from any other source. Measurements at temperatures other than 25C are considered non-standard and shall be s

35、o noted in the test report.4.3 Air MovementAir movement at the surface of a fluorescent lamp or luminaire under test may substantially alter electrical 2IES LM-41-14and photometric values. No discernible airflow from sources other than the device under test shall be allowed. This can be tested using

36、 a single ply tissue paper hanging in place of the lamp. 5.0 ELECTRICAL CONDITIONS AND INSTRUMENTATION5.1 Wave shapeThe AC power source, while operating the test lamp ballast or luminaire, shall have a sinusoidal voltage wave-shape such that the RMS summation of the harmonic components does not exce

37、ed 3.0 percent of the fundamental.5.2 Voltage RegulationThe RMS voltage applied to the lamp ballast for the duration of the measurement interval shall be regulated to within 0.1 percent for line voltage mea-surements and 1 percent for frequencies above standard line frequency.5.3 Power Source Impeda

38、nceThe power source impedance for low frequency supplies, measured at the points where the ballast and lamp are connected, shall not exceed 2% of the ballast impedance. For high frequency power sup-plies it is not possible to meet the 2% limit internally in the power supply so electronic control cir

39、cuits are used to keep the output voltage at the desired level. To ensure compliance with this requirement, vari-able autotransformers or other voltage transforming devices should have a kVA rating of at least five times the lamp wattage. 5.4 Instrumentation for Electrical Measurements The instrumen

40、ts shall be calibrated at the manufac-turers recommended time interval, or at an interval determined from a documented statistical evalua-tion of the calibration stability. They shall have good reproducibility of indication. AC meters shall respond to true RMS.Most electronic ballasts operate at a h

41、igh frequency (typically 20,000 Hz) lamp current. Care should be taken that possible conduction or radiation from this type of ballast does not cause reading errors. High frequency leads should be as short as possible and, if necessary, shielded from electromagnetic interfer-ence (EMI). It may be ne

42、cessary to use precautions in order to prevent EMI from reaching voltage moni-toring equipment or the photocell readout device through the power circuits.5.4.1. Uncertainties The calibration uncertainties (see note below) of the instruments for AC voltage and current shall be 0.2 percent. The calibr

43、ation uncertainty of the AC power meter shall be 0.5 percent and that for DC voltage and current shall be 0.1 percent. Note: Uncertainty here refers to relative expanded uncertainty with a 95 percent confidence interval, normally with a coverage factor k=2, as prescribed in Refs. 32 and 33. If a man

44、ufacturers specification does not specify uncertainty this way, then the manu-facturer should be contacted for proper conversion.6.0 TEST REQUIREMENTS6.1 Selection and Preparation of Luminaire Sample selection of the luminaires is important since the value of the test will depend upon the method of

45、sampling. If sampling is performed by the laboratory, the method used shall be reported. Luminaires shall be selected to represent the purpose of the test, and shall be clean and free of any defect which could adversely impact the test results. Ballasts regularly fur-nished as part of the luminaire

46、should be used to oper-ate the lamps during the test and should be mounted in their normal location(s) within the luminaire. These ballasts should be within tolerances stated in the cur-rent American National Standard Specification for Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts9when applicable. The ballast factor of

47、 the ballast(s) installed in the luminaire can have significant impact on the photometric perfor-mance of the luminaire (see Section 7.4).6.2 Luminaire Luminance Characteristics Luminaire luminance characteristics are reported to facilitate evaluation of certain quality aspects of light design. Aver

48、age luminance is a quantity calculated from photometric data (see Section 7.6).6.3 Test LampsLamps of stable output are needed for photometric purposes. They should be constant in light output during a test or test series when constant line volt-age is supplied. The following is a guide to their sel

49、ection and handling:(1) Lamps should be typical of current production and should appear uniform in brightness and color from end to end and around the axis.3IES LM-41-14(2) Lamps for luminaires that have more than one lamp should be matched for light output within 1.5 percent (a spread of 3 percent) when oper-ated on the same supply and ballast circuit. The minor differences that occur between test lamps are sufficient reason for always photo-metering both sides of the luminaire.(3) If the intensity distribution of a lamp in a plane at 90 to its long axis is d
