Practical Light & Colour Measurement Course

Do you speak "Light”? Is your white whiter-than-white or is it giving you the blues? Do you suffer from a certain degree of uncertainty - or aren't you sure? This course is ideal for anyone who has ever wondered about the difference between luminous flux, luminance and luminous intensity. (Yes, there is a difference). The course is perfect for scientists, engineers and technical marketing personnel who seek an understanding of the jargon used to describe the power and colour of lamps, LEDs and other light sources. Ease the pain of communicating understandable specifications with suppliers and customers - spend a day on our course and you'll see the light. 

The syllabus includes an overview of the radiometric, photometric, colorimetric and spectroradiometric units used to define the output of light sources, as well as describing the type of equipment typically used in their measurement. Hints and tips specific to measuring LEDs and LED clusters accurately are reviewed, together with when and how to convert between different optical units. This course is offered in partnership with the Photonics Cluster-UK.
