36、psUsing an Integrating Sphere PhotometerFOREWORDThis document is one of a continuing series ofIESNA Approved Methods prepared to define abaseline for acceptable photometric proceduresleading to improved agreement among laboratories.This Approved Method explains a particular tech-nique for total lumi
37、nous flux measurement of alltypes of lamps using integrating spheres.1.0 INTRODUCTION1.1 General Total luminous flux is the spatially integrated, pho-topically weighted, total light output from a lamp.Total luminous flux is an important parameter fornon-directional, general lighting products. For di
38、rec-tional lamps such as reflector lamps, intensity andbeam angle are important parameters. The lamp totalluminous flux divided by the lamp electrical power isthe luminous efficacy (lm/W) of a lamp. Thisapproved method describes a technique for measur-ing the total luminous flux of lamps using an in
39、tegrat-ing-sphere photometer employing V(H9261)-correctedphotometer head. The approved method is based onthe comparison of the total luminous flux of a testlamp to the total luminous flux of a standard lamp inan integrating sphere photometer.1.2 Nomenclature and Definitions(a) Luminous flux (H9021):

Theresponsivity of the photometer head on the integrat-ing sphere is also affected by changes of tempera-ture (typically on the order of 0.1 percent/C). Thus,it is preferred to place the integrating sphere in acontrolled environm
46、ent. The ambient conditions are more critical for measure-ments of particular types of discharge lamps. Forexample, fluorescent lamps are required to be operat-ed in an ambient temperature of 25 1C. Refer tothe appropriate IESNA Lighting Measurement (LM)documents for the required ambient conditions
47、foreach lamp type to be measured.51IESNA LM-78-073.0 INTEGRATING SPHEREFigure 1 shows the geometry of a typical integrat-ing sphere photometer for luminous flux measure-ments. The integrating sphere is equipped with aphotometer head, a baffle, an auxiliary lamp assem-bly, coating, lamp mounting hard
48、ware, lampholderand associated electrical wiring. Several importantdesign criteria for an integrating sphere photometerare described in the following sections.3.1 Size of the SphereThe optimum size of the sphere should be chosenby considering the following factors:A) Size of the lamp (thus, required
49、 size of thebaffle)B) Self-absorption of the lamp, lampholder, andlamp mounting hardwareC) Internal sphere temperatureD) Sphere responsivity (lowest measurable lumi-nous flux)Factors A, B, and C drive the sphere to be as large aspossible while factor D limits the sphere size. It is idealto have the sphere diameter larger than 10 times thelargest dimension of compact lamps and twice thelength of linear lamps to be measured.6Practically,integrating spheres of 1 m to 3 m diameter are nor-mally used for luminous flux measurement of general-purpose lamps (incandescent, linear
