LM-79 and Integrating Sphere Spectrophotometer for Color Quality Testing of Plant Lamps

In recent years, with the development of LED technology and modern facilities such as global plant factories and vertical farms, the plant lighting market has ushered in new development opportunities, becoming the choice of many lighting manufacturers to compete in differentiated ways. Optical measuring equipment, especially the LPCE-2 Integrating Sphere Spectrophotometer system can help the development of the plant lighting market, helping manufacturers analyze and design precise spectra to ensure production quality and it is fully meet LM-79.

Due to the characteristics of LED lamps such as high light efficiency, low heat generation, small size and long life, they are favored by plant lighting manufacturers. Different plants have different light requirements for different spectra during their growth process, and the compensation light selected for this purpose also varies. Plant lighting is a technology mainly using LED effective light to illuminate plants, thereby achieving the prescribed results. LED lamps have the advantages of high light efficiency, low heat generation, small size and long life, which is why it is embraced by the manufacturers in the field of plant lighting.

Plant lighting spectrum technology is an important part of plant engineering, and it is also the key to achieving a high-quality plant lighting system. Manufacturers design plant lighting systems to select plant light sources according to the light quality and light density required by plants. Due to different spectra required by different plants, plant lighting spectrum design needs to be designed according to the process requirements of plant cultivation, and the key to the realization of plant lighting is precise source spectrum measurement methods and equipment, such as the LPCE-2 Integrating Sphere Spectrophotometer system. The device can calculate PAR/PPF/PPFD values, and three specialized application modules can achieve very high accuracy and repeatability while ensuring production efficiency. It allows lamps to be placed in when lit, shortening the measuring time. In addition, the newly added functional and simple electric control module also meets IES LM-79-19, IES LM-78 and other relevant standards.

The plant lighting market not only requires high-quality and high-efficiency LED lamps, but also requires accurate spectral analysis. Therefore, the key to the manufacturers to complete the competition in the plant lighting market is a high-precision and high-reproducibility spectral analysis system. LISUN LPCE-2 Integrating Sphere Spectrometer system has good performance which can effectively calculate PAR/PPF/PPFD values and ensure the light quality required by the planting process to achieve high efficiency utilization, which helps to realize the plant lighting solutions to be more intelligent.

LPCE-2 Integrating Sphere Spectroradiometer LED Testing System is for single LEDs and LED lighting products light measurement. LED’s quality should be tested by checking its photometric, colorimetric and electrical parameters. According to CIE 177, CIE84,  CIE-13.3, IES LM-79-19, Optical-Engineering-49-3-033602, COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2019/2015, IESNA LM-63-2, IES-LM-80 and ANSI-C78.377, it recommends to using an array spectroradiometer with an integrating sphere to test SSL products. 

In recent years, LED technology has been welcomed by many lighting manufacturers, and the development of the plant lighting market has ushered in a new development opportunity. At this time, thanks to the optical measurement equipment, especially the LISUN LPCE-2 Integrating Sphere Spectrometer system which can accurately analyze and design accurate spectrum, in order to ensure the quality of production, so as to speed up the development of the plant lighting market . The progress of plant engineering technology is driven by the plant lighting spectrum technology, and LISUN’s LPCE-2 Integrating Sphere Spectroradiometer system is designed to meet the performance requirements of the plant lighting industry and provide accurate and reliable measurement data. Its spectral design and analysis capabilities can provide support for the realization of plant lighting solutions, thus promoting the development of the plant lighting market.

The design of plant lighting system usually requires spectrum light design based on plant required light quality and light density. In this regard, accurate light source spectral analysis methods and equipment, such as integrating sphere spectrometer, are needed. LISUN’s LPCE-2 Integrating Sphere Spectroradiometer system has a unique advantage of integrated sphere size of 25 cm – 3 m, optional, 2π and 4π geometry, etc., which is more capable of meeting the design and R&D needs of manufacturers engaged in plant lighting.
