The lighting technology laboratory is used for laboratory exercises for students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics at the Technical University of Košice as part of the teaching of the subjects Lighting Technology and Lighting System Design, as well as for solving research tasks in the field of lighting and lighting technology.
Subjects and learning outcomes:
The laboratory offers the possibility of using the following equipment:
Spectroradiometer OL 770, Optronic Laboratories, Inc.Spectrophotometer Avantes, AvaSpec-2048-USB2 – these instruments are used to measure the spectral characteristics of light sources, on the basis of which it is possible to evaluate other parameters: color coordinates, trichromatic components of light, color temperature, color rendering index, S/P factor, and others.
Spherical integrator (Ulbricht sphere) with a diameter of 1 m – used to measure the luminous flux of small light sources
BK ELCOM ENA 330 power quality analyzer – used to measure: voltage, current, frequency, power, work, power factor, real power factor, asymmetry, flicker, harmonics and higher harmonics, capturing events such as dips and swings, transient overvoltages, interruptions, and rapid voltage fluctuations. It includes software for processing measurements and evaluating them according to the STN EN 50 160 standard. As part of laboratory exercises, it is used to evaluate the impact of lighting equipment on the power supply network.
Digital brightness meter LS 110, Konica Minolta – a device for measuring brightness, which is supplemented with focusing optics that define the spatial (viewing) angle within which the light flux falls on the photocell. The viewfinder optics mark the measured area, the average brightness of which is evaluated by the device.
Chromameter CL-200, Konica Minolta – used to measure light intensity (similar to a lux meter), chromaticity temperature, color coordinates, and trichromatic components.
Lux meter PU 550 – used to measure light intensity. It is equipped with a probe with a cosine attachment for correcting directional measurement errors.
Elektro-Automatik EA-4000B-4.5 adjustable power supply – used as a power source for light sources with a voltage range of 0-240V AC, max. current 4.5A
Pyranometer MS-80S
used to measure global (direct and diffuse) solar radiation on a horizontal plane with spectral selectivity of 350–1500 nm.
