In 2026, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) completed and issued the revised standard IS 16102-2:2026 for the operational performance of outdoor LED lighting equipment. As a core mandatory standard for India’s outdoor LED lighting sector, this update further refines technical requirements and improves test specifications on the original basis. It aims to enhance the reliability, safety, and ad...
On February 24, 2026, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) officially released the revised safety standard for self-ballasted LED lamps for general lighting, IS 16102-1:2026, which replaces the 2012 version. It specifies that the transition period for the old and new standards will last until August 2, 2026, after which the old standard will be formally abolished. As the core mandatory safety stan...
Abstract: The instrument for measuring intensity of light is a core device in the field of illumination optical detection. As a high-precision representative of such devices, the Type C rotating probe vertical goniophotometer plays a key role in the testing of lamp luminous intensity distribution and light distribution curves. Taking the LISUN LM-79 Vertical Goniophotometer System (LSG-6000) as t...
Goniophotometer testing is the most prevailing way of attaining total three dimensional photometric characterization of luminaires and light source. In contrast to the simplified measurements which only report the total luminous flux or average illuminance, this method has the advantage to measure the light distribution in space at all relevant angles. In the case of the modern lighting system wit...
Type C Goniophotometer systems are used in preference in road and out light testing since they provide a convenient combination of geometry, angular coverage, and alignment that is flexible to the real-world luminaire requirements. At the beginning it is necessary to mention the goal of the measurement. The essence of roadway lighting specifications is the luminous intensity measurement of various...
One of the major requirements of assessing LED luminaires deployed in the commercial, industrial, and outdoor setting is an accurate photometric measurement. An LED goniophotometer will be the main testing tool when the manufacturer requires an intense data, spatial distribution of light, and total luminous flux at standardized conditions. This paper describes the minimum setup specification of LM...
Modern lighting design, compliance and performance validation require accurate assessment of luminous intensity distribution. The goniophotometer operation is the basis of this assessment as they allow the angular analysis with great precision of the light produced on luminaire. This is the core step in professional laboratories in light measurement, particularly in measuring fixtures that are pla...
It is equally crucial to know the way light is scattered in space as it is that the luminaire produces a specific amount of light. In case of LED luminaires, optical behavior defines visual comfort, energy savings and lighting standard. The major instrument of measurement of this spatial light behavior is a goniophotometer. In the process of testing the professional IES, goniophotometer records fi...
A correct photometric analysis not only involves optical sensors but also on the execution of measurement geometry in the process of testing. Goniophotometers are special equipment that measures the light distribution of the angle and its functionality is greatly affected by the movement of the detector and mechanical stability. In making comparisons on the type of goniophotometer, the arrangement...
Proper testing of performance of lighting is the key to product safety, efficiency and acceptance regarding regulations in the global market. Goniophotometry is of a central importance in the process as they offer a detailed analysis of light distribution, and light intensity by the aid of a highly controlled instrument for measuring light intensity able to capture directional photometric data. In...
The current LED lighting systems no longer have bare power and brightness values in printed packets or packaging. End users require real-life lighting behaviour, i.e. what is the width of the beam, how evenly illuminated an object is, and at what currents will the light remain constant. These values are a subject of laboratory measurements done with a specialized device called a goniophotometer, w...
Professional lighting evaluation requires correct measurement of luminous distribution and beam shape, light intensity distribution, uniformity and directional output. In current illumination systems, total lumens are no longer a significant consideration and rather accurate angular distribution of light is used to establish compliance, visual comfort, energy efficiency and harmonious beam in prac...
