Orchidea Milano Laboratory of Lighting Analysis – lighting engineering and photometry tests, optical and photometric performance of luminaires.
Optical tests and verifications of the photometric performance of lighting fixtures ensure that manufacturers meet reference standards.
At ORCHIDEA MILANO laboratories, tests are carried out following the main European and international standards. The precision and reliability of the results are guaranteed by certified equipment and the expertise of the technical staff, built on solid experience, continuous training, and active participation in major international standards working groups.
Main Measurements Performed on Lighting Fixtures:
In the photometric laboratory, we use a goniophotometer to measure the luminous intensity distribution of each luminaire, obtaining photometric curves, emitted luminous flux, and luminous efficacy. We analyze LEDs using a spectroradiometer to verify light characteristics: color rendering index (CRI), correlated color temperature (CCT), and chromatic coordinates.
