Facilities of Lighting Laboratory
Lighthouse
An extension of the Department of Electrical and Communications Engineering, which is a unique research environment with cafeteria, offices and class rooms, solar heating and electricity and other research facilities
Glass Research Room
4m x 4m x 3m room with glass walls, designed mainly for daylight research
Solar Panels
14 shading elements on the south façade, each including 10 pcs 50 Wp photovoltaic modules; the entire system provides 6 kW module peak power at 1000 W/m2 radiation
Solar Heating
The thermal energy produced by a 30 m2 solar collector is used
for heating the service
water of the department
Thermographic Camera
Detects infrared energy and converts it into electronic signals, which are processed to produce a thermal image on a video monitor
Integrating Sphere
Luminous flux and spectral power distribution measurements
Facilities for Lamp Tests
Air conditioned room for multiple measurements of lamps' electrical properties (by means of oscilloscope, wattage and voltage meters)
Spectroradiometer
Measures the spectrum of different light sources and the output is exported in ASCII format files for further analysis and calculation
Goldman Perimeter

Dark Room
A totally dark room of 11m x 6,5m x 6m for lighting measurements with full control of external light
Light Pipe and Sulfur Lamp
A transparent cylinder (5,3m x 0,25m) with
a 3M™ optical lighting film that distributes the light from a sulfur lamp uniformly along the length of pipe
Luminancephotometers: IQCam & Prometric
CCD based luminance photometers for measurement and analysis of indoor and outdor lighting
Flash Meter
A precision instrument for measurement of rapidly changing illuminances, e.g. flashing lights
Tunnel for Road Lighting Installations
An underground tunnel of 200 m lenght, 3.5 m height and 5 m width for road and street lighting installations
Large Hemisphere
A hemispherical surface (diameter 1.98 m) for various visibility experiments (e.g. contrast threshold and reaction time experiments in varied lighting and viewing conditions)
Goniometer
Equipment used to measure the luminous intensity distributions of narrow beam lights such as car headlights, stoplights and other signal lights, at distances from 1m up to 50m
Energy Measurement and Data Aquisition Unit
Power & Current Transducer “SINEAX M 563” can be used for the measurement of the electricity consumption. Data Acquisition Unit (MX 100) is a PC-based data acquisition system.
