The darkroom facility enables Forge Europa to provide precise, independently verified technical data on their range of LED lamps, displays and custom assemblies. In conjunction with the company’s existing spectral analysis equipment, this provides design engineers with the full range of measurements that they are likely to require for any particular application.
Forge Europa has recently launched a comprehensive multi-lingual CD catalogue with extensive technical supporting data using the new facilities. Luminous intensity, luminance, illuminance and chromaticity data, as well as wavelength and radiation diagrams, can all be provided. Photometry is the measurement of light as the human eye responds to it and the standard reference point for colour is the CIE 1931 Chromaticity diagram, which is shown in full on the CD.
As well as enabling Forge Europa to cross-reference other manufacturers product in a controlled environment, the test facility is also utilized extensively for in-house Quality Assurance and batch testing.
