The Avnet LightLab is a state-of-the-art, 900 square foot facility, equipped with the latest LED metrology suite from Instrument Systems. Designed to measure the key optical, electrical and thermal characteristics of high power LEDs, modules and luminaires, the Avnet LightLab services are offered to qualified Avnet customers. All photometric, radiometric and colormetric testing is conducted in accordance with specifications from the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE™), the international commission on light.

Avnet’s LightLab supports a broad range of LED applications including general illumination, medical, industrial, transportation, military, signage and security applications. Typical tests include:

Total flux measurement
Illuminance measurement
Thermal analysis and mapping
Luminous efficiency
Spectral Power Disruption (SPD)
