18、s.1References and technol-ogy have been updated to reflect current practice.1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPEIt is the purpose of this Guide to provide a reference foruse in the design of report forms and to suggest a prac-tical format and terminology for presenting the informa-tion obtained from a typical phot
19、ometric test. Figure 1through Figure 9 are included for illustrative purposesonly. The reporting agency may make adjustments informat, order, and detail to meet its particular needs;however, all required data must be included to complywith this Guide. Only test reports for typical indoor gen-eral li
20、ghting and wall-washing luminaires are discussed.The manner of reporting test data for outdoor luminairesor other specialized equipment is not covered.The subject matter of a photometric test report maybe logically divided into the following three categories:general information, photometric data, an
21、d applica-tion engineering data.2.0 GENERAL INFORMATIONThe general information category is of vital impor-tance because it describes the equipment and condi-tions represented by the test data. Figure 1 is anexample of the minimum general information to beincluded. Auxiliary equipment that may affect
22、 theresults of the test shall be described in detail.The first requirement is a descriptive title to indicatewhat is being reported. The name of the testingagency, report number, and the date of the test mustalways be shown. The name of the manufacturer shallalso be included except where prohibited
23、because oflegal ramifications such as in third party testing.A detailed description of the item tested shall beincluded. The luminaire (or lamp) should be listedboth by its trade name, if any, and its official designa-tion such as the catalog number and sample number.Where the item tested is not a p
24、roduction sample, thedescriptive text should clearly identify the unit as aprototype. The description must provide a detaileddescription of the luminaire type, such as “surface-mounted white baked porcelain enamel, open-endindustrial luminaire with slotted apertures in reflectorto allow for uplight”
25、 or “surface-mounted commercialluminaire with baked white enamel finish and translu-cent white plastic egg-crate louvers.” Type of mounting shall always be designated.Reflectance and transmittance data should be report-ed where available for all light controlling elementssuch as reflectors, louvers,
26、 and lenses. Bare lampshielding angle measured down from the horizontal,both parallel and perpendicular to the lamp axis whereapplicable, should be reported. Note that the shieldingangle shall be measured with respect to the firstappearance of the luminous portion of the lamp.The description of lamp
27、s shall consist of quantity, cat-alog number, designation, envelope shape and size,rated power consumption, rated lumen output, color,bulb shape, and any other information that relates tothe performance of the luminaire or the interpretationof the test results. Ballast identification shall includeba
28、llast type (electromagnetic/electronic), quantity, cat-alog number, number of lamps, actual power factor,input voltage, rated line voltage, frequency, inputpower, and ballast factor where applicable.The photometric report shall additionally contain asketch of the luminaire. The sketch should be as r
29、ep-resentative as possible, communicating overalldimensions, dimensions of louvers and/or shields,and lamp positioning. Figure 2 provides an exampleof a typical sketch.The photometric data contained in a report is oftenstored in both electronic and hard copy files for futureinput to performance eval
30、uation software. It is recom-mended that the name and format of the correspond-ing electronic data file be noted on the hard copyreport for ease of reference and retrieval. More infor-mation may be found in LM-63-02, IESNA StandardFile Format for Electronic Transfer of PhotometricData and Related In
31、formation.23.0 PHOTOMETRIC DATAPhotometric data includes luminous intensity distribu-tion, lumen summaries, and tabulated luminances. Thephotometric data section of a report shall additionallycontain information relating to the test conditions onwhich the data is based (for example, photometric test

A caution notice shall be included stating thatthe extrapolation of data reported herein to other lamp orballast configurations may result in erroneous values.Luminous intensity (c
33、andela) distribution data shall betabulated as in Figure 3. While the photometric test willtypically require that measurements be taken throughoutthe spatial extent into which the luminaire is intended toradiate, it is not always necessary to report every mea-surement. Luminaires demonstrating symme
34、try of distri-bution often permit averaging of the symmetrical data.The averages are then reported through one of the sym-metrical segments thus reducing the amount of data. It isa common and accepted practice to imply symmetry ofdistribution by reporting data through one segment only. Whenever the
35、tabulated intensity data does not spanthe full 360-degree horizontal angle range and the tab-ulated data has not been averaged from a full 360degree exploration, the report shall state which planesLighting Equipment Engineering Data(Luminaire Test Data)Report Number _ Date: _Laboratory _Manufacturer

The test isrepresentative of
38、controlled laboratory conditions; performance may vary in an actual installation.Caution: Erroneous data may result from the extrapolation of this data to represent performance withother lamp/ballast combinations.The intensity data in this report are based on a reference ballast (1.0 ballast factor)
39、 per ANSIstandards for the lamp type under test. For accuracy, it is essential that proper correction factors(such as for ballast, maintenance, and temperature) be used in conjunction with this report whenpredicting end-use performance.3IESNA LM-15-03Figure 2.
