GonioPhotoMeter

A goniophotometer measures the luminous intensity distribution of a light source in different directions by rotating the detector or the light source. It is used for testing the light distribution curves of luminaires, validating lighting designs, and calculating luminous flux. It finds applications in road lighting, indoor luminaire testing, and automotive lighting inspections.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement angle range and accuracy, match the measurement distance to the size of the luminaire being tested, check whether the supporting software meets standard requirements, confirm spectral compatibility based on commonly measured light source types, and choose a device of appropriate size according to the laboratory space.
