OPTICAL SIMULATION
Light quality also depends on the way the light is
being controlled by the optics when it leaves the
light source. We pay specific attention to
the final result when choosing or designing our
optics. Using computer simulations allows to
check at an early stage how the optics need to
be shaped and where it needs to be positioned.
By making computer simulations we can already
make an accurate estimation of how the luminaire
will perform in a final stage. Apart from simulating
the final effect of the luminaire, these simulations
are also being used to develop the most energy-
efficient lighting solutions possible and can be
used to see what the effect of an accessory will
be when applied onto the luminaire.
PHOTOMETRICS
Apart from the lumen output and the power it
consumes, a luminaire is characterized by its
luminous distribution. At Deltalight® we have
the knowledge and infrastructure in-house to
determine those characteristics of the luminous
distribution.
OPTICAL SPECTOMETRY
Together with the luminous distribution, also the
quality of light is of main importance: what is the
total luminous flux, how does the spectrum look
like, …? By using spectroradiometers the quality
of light from the light source and the complete
luminaire can be checked into detail and
optimized to our Deltalight standards.
