Ethernet / Optical Fiber

Ethernet / Optical Fiber

Light measurement, to measure the main luminous features of our lighting products for railways, such as headlights, tail-lights, traffic lights, and other onboard or trackside lighting devices.

Inside this dark room we are able to measure luminous flux (lumen), luminous intensity (candle), chromatic coordinates (X,Y), color rendering index (CRI), color temperature (CCT), the spectral chart and the angular distribution of the light.
