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
Glass-cube
measurement system
The purpose of the system is to measure the electricity production
of solar panels in southern Finland and feed the produced electricity
to led-luminaires inside the glass-cube
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
A hemisphere (diameter 60cm) for vision experiments
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

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.
