Defined, precisely specified lighting quality is stipulated in the standards for workstations. These requirements are especially strict in, for example, the medical engineering, cosmetics and chemicals industries. The Mavospec Lite provides you with all of the decisive values simply and quickly – for certified safe light.
THE MAVOSPEC LITE MAKES PUBLIC PLACES SAFE
Changeovers to LED lighting and new installations in public areas – lighting has to ensure safety and comply with the standards in these applications. The Mavospec Lite supports you in your testing process and provides you with certified, documented security.
The Mavospec Lite provides you with all of the decisive factors – accurately and with certification.
Precise and easy-to-use light measurement and documentation for any user, anytime, anywhere – the Mavospec Lite was developed precisely for this purpose. All measured quantities which are relevant for light such as illuminance, correlated color temperature, color rendering index in accordance with CIE 13.3, color coordinates in accordance with various CIE standards and spectral power distribution are determined from the measured spectrum by simply pressing a key and displayed comprehensibly for experts as well as laypersons. Light measurement is made extremely easy as a result.
SPECTRAL POWER
DISTRIBUTION
represents the radiant power of a light source for a wavelength or a waveband in the visible range. It provides us with information about color characteristics and can be used to compare the color temperature of different light sources. Information can be inferred from this regarding color rendering properties, because missing or attenuated portions of the spectrum result in color rendering errors.
THE COLOR
RENDERING INDEX
Ra is a measure of the color rendering properties of lamps and has a theoretical maximum value of 100. The higher the color rendering index, the better the color rendering properties of the lamp. Color rendering which is as natural as possible is achieved through the use of lamps with an Ra value of greater than 90. Ra is the arithmetic mean of the color deviation of the first 8 of 14 test colors according to DIN 6169. An extension to this is the color rendering index Re, which is calculated over all 14 test colors and the additional test color 15 (Asia Skin Color), which also takes into account saturated colors, leaf green and skin tones. DIN EN 12464 specifies the color rendering properties of lamps used to illuminate various types of rooms and activities.
COLOR
COORDINATES
are a means of precisely defining a color, i.e. a color’s chromaticity as specified by the coordinates of the CIE diagram. The human eye is equipped with sensory cells for the perception of the three primary colors, namely red, green and blue. Photopic curves for the standard observer were ascertained in 1931 by the CIE and indicate sensitivity for the individual wavelength ranges.
GAMUT
AREA INDEX
is a measure of the vividness of the color representation and is used primarily in the evaluation of exhibition and museum lighting. It is an indicator of how well the octahedral surface defined by the eight test colors of the Ra in the color space is covered by the light source.
ILLUMI-
NANCE
indicates with how much intensity a surface is illuminated. It amounts to one lux when a luminous flux of one lumen illuminates a surface of one square meter. Luxmeters are used to measure illuminance at horizontal and vertical surfaces. However, illuminance does not indicate the brightness impression of a room, because this depends to a great extent on the room’s reflective characteristics. As a rule, uniform light distribution is not achieved with normal lighting, for which reason specifications in the standards usually make reference to mean illuminance This value is calculated as the weighted arithmetic mean of all illuminance values in the room.
COLOR
TEMPERATURE
is a function which is used to quantitatively specify the respective color impression of a light source. The unit of measure for color temperature is degrees Kelvin (K). In concrete terms, it’s the temperature whose light effect is most similar to the color to be described at uniform brightness under specified observation conditions.
The Mavospec Lite assigns precise values to your light – with automatic results documentation.
The Mavospec Lite either stores the measured values on the integrated micro SD card at the touch of a button or automatically, and is recognized as a removable data medium when connected to a computer. The measurement files saved in CSV format can be easily opened, copied, moved or deleted.
FLEXIBLE REPORTING
The included Excel template offers various measurement reports, the elements of which can be adapted as required and combined to create new customer-specific templates. All of the template’s elements access the data spreadsheet, to which stored measured value files are read in automatically after pressing a key. A measurement can also be started with the connected meter and transferred automatically. Complete documentation is thus generated quickly and easily.
