Designed and developed by experts, Ring’s lighting laboratory is a ‘state-of-the-art’ testing centre which enables product testing and performance verifi cation, which is laid down by international standards.
The Technology
The state–of-the-art laboratory is equipped with the latest ProMetric CCD light imaging photometer. Where a traditional goniophotometer can only measure the light intensity and colour from the lamp at one point at a time, the new ProMetric photometer can measure 1.5 million points simultaneously. Localised light and colour difference can easily be detected by looking at the individual measurements taken from any point. These measurements can then be displayed as a conventional image or via a colour isolux image.
These images clearly illustrate the performance of both the light unit and the light source and can be used to access the relative performance of products. Our extensive database now contains many thousands of results which can be used to improve both our understanding of our products performance but also other products sold in the market.
The data is used to further enhance and improve our products. The specially designed software allows data to be shown as overhead images to produce a bird’s eye view of the product’s enhanced performance on the road ahead. The performance of products can be checked against the international standards using the reference data points from European headlamp standards.
