Labsphere introduces portable spectral flux analysis device

Labsphere Inc. has expanded its illumia LED and light measurement product range with the introduction of illumialite. The portable system packages the accuracy of sphere-based measurement in a cost-effective handheld device suitable for use on the production floor, in the lab or field.

The illumialite overcomes the drawbacks inherent in other handhelds by incorporating a spectrometer calibrated for absolute spectral flux and employs an integrating sphere in its design. This combination delivers more complete spectral flux measurement capability than simple illuminance meters using near cosine receivers.

The ergonomic handheld instrument measures both luminous flux and color of a device under test, including LEDs and other sources up to 1cm in diameter. A built-in auxiliary lamp provides self-absorption correction for highly accurate results.
