Objective ‘The guide provides test procedures and methods of reporting data that will promote uniform evalua- tion of the optical performance of floodlights using various lamps such as incandescent, mercury, metel halide, and high pressure sodium (HPS). ‘Low pressure sodium (LPS) and fluorescent lamps are excluded from this guide. x @ ) xa90 29, Rerenence DIRECTION @ Fig. 1.

For floodlights that have a field angle of less than 10 degrees, see reference 2. 2. Selection of Floodlights Floodlights selected for test should be repre- sentative of the manufacturer's typical product. It is suggested that random selection of product for test be taken from a production-lot sample. 3, Basic Laboratory Conditions 3.1 Extraneous Light. Precautions shouldbe taken to eliminate extraneous light from the test en- vironment by the use of adequate shielding and baffling, Particular attention should be given to arranging the baffling and shielding so that the only light incident on the receiver is that which is directly transmitted from the floodlight. 3.2 Ambient Temperature. The cmbient tempera- ture of the photometric laboratory should be main- tained at 25°C+ 5°C (77°F £9°F). 3.3 Test Lamp Selection and Seasoning. Test lamps should be selected for conformance to ‘manufacturer's design dimensions and construc- tion. The lamps should be seasoned until their characteristics will remain constant during the test® for specific seasoning times for each lamp type 3.4 Test Lamp Operation. Filament lamps should be operated at a constant current corresponding to approximately 75 pereent of rated lumen output. Discharge lamps should be operated at rated power (watts). Prior to taking any data, readings must be taken every 15 minutes until the lamp is stable. With metal halide and HPS lamps, the lamp electrical operating conditions should be noted both in open air and while operating in the flood- light, so that differences in lamp performance may be recognized between open air and the floodlight conditions. 3.5 Test Distance. The distance between the flood- light and the photosensitive element should be great enough so that the inverse-square law ap- plies. A distance of 8 to 10 meters (26 to 30 feet) should be the minimum test distance for testing ‘Type through Type 7 floodlights. A distance of 25 meters (82 feet) is the recommended minimum for testing Type 2 and Type 3 floodlights. 3.6 Electrical Requirements 3.6.1 Power Supply. When photometry is per- formed with floodlights on a multiple supply, theo variations in supply voltage should not exceed + 0.5 percent during the test. ‘3.6.2 Wave Form. The ac power supply should be such that the root mean square (rms) summa tion of the harmonic components do not exceed 3 percent of the fundamental. 3.7 Instrumentation. Instruments should have good reproducibility of indication, and large scale deflections for the conditions under which they are PHOTOCELL Sy co) Du ) Rerenence DBinecTION @ Fig. 2.

It is recom- mended that the range be selected where a mid to maximum range be used for any specific setting, 3.8 Gonlometers ‘3.6.1 General.'The goniometer provides a means of mounting the floodlight and a means of rotating the floodlight through the required angular traver- ses, The goniometer must be rigid enough to pro- vide correct measurement of angles when there is fan appreciable off balance loading. The construc- tion of the goniometer should provide for accurate angular settings and should be reproducible to within 0.5 degrees. 3.8.2 Polar Axis Coordinates. A goniometer is designed to use a horizontal polar axis coordinate system or a vertical polar axis coordinate system. Figs. 1 through 3 show three types of polar axis coordinate systems, For many years, floodlights were tested on a horizontal polar axis coordinate system (Fig. 2(b)], and the luminous intensity (candlepower) data of the floodlight was then presented on the ‘Type B floodlight photometric format (see Section 7), Lamps are now being designed with Tumen outputs that vary with position, and most. Jaboratories have changed their testing procedure from using the Type B goniometer to the Type C goniometer. A routine has been added to convert the Type C data to the equivalent Type B data. ‘The revised data is then presented in the Type B floodlight photometric format. 3.9 Light Sensors. A light sensitive element is used for the illumination measurements, The use of the cells as well as suitable measuring circuits are described in references 6 and 7. The combina- tion of the sensor and its measuring equipment should be checked for linearity of response over the range in which it is used as well as for freedom from the affects of fatigue and temperature on sensor sensitivity. The sensor should be provided with filters that correct its spectral response to close agreement with the CIE spectral luminous efficieney curve.® It might be necessary to use correction filters specially designed for the par- ticular photocell. ‘3.10 Gonlometer Coordinate Systems? 9.10.1 Fixed Horizontal Axis (Type A). With this system [Fig. 1(a)] a rotation about the fixed horizontal axis represents a measurement taken around a great circle ona sphere having a vertical polar axis; a rotation about the movable X-axisrepresents a measurement taken oround a small Circle on the sphere as shown in Fig. 1(b). In the coordinate system [Fig. 1(€)], the angles between the planes are called X and the angles measured in the planes are called Y. ita Type A goniometer is used for measurement ofa floodlight, the angles X and ¥ should be set at the values specified in Section 6. The results should be reported in the standard format.” 3.10.2 Fixed Vertical Axis (Type B). With this system (Fig. 2(a)], a rotation about the fixed ver- tical axis (V) of the goniometer represents a meas- ‘urement taken around a great circle on a sphere havinga horizontal polar axis (H). Arotation about the horizontal axis represents a measurement taken around a semi-circle (as seen as a lune ele- ‘ment) on the sphere (Fig. 2(b)]. ‘The floodlight is mounted on the goniometer with its auxiliary axis coincident with a movable horizontal axis and the photometric light center situated at the intersection of the axes H and V.A fixed horizontal line from this intersection point, perpendicular to the fixed vertical axis of the goniometer is chosen as the direction of observa- tion, Rotation of the goniometer about its vertical axis provides Hf angles and rotation of the flood- ight about the horizontal axis provides V angles. ‘The resultant distribution consists of a bundle of planes with one horizontal axis of intersection coincident with the auxiliary axis ofthe floodlight. ‘The coordinate system is illustrated in Fig. 2(c) '3,10.3 Moving Cell or Mirror Photometer (Type €). The Type C goniometer with @ photocell or mirror movable around a horizontal axis is shown in Fig. 8, Its essentially a normal light distribu: tion photometer. It is characterized by having the floodlight suspended in a fixed orientation in space, movable only around a vertical axis. The photocell (or a mirror) is rotated around the flood- light in a vertical plane. "eng Sore, oe We SS. psoroce, Fig. 3. Type © goniometer with s photocell or mirror movable eround & horizontal exis. ‘Tho Natness of the mirror and the accuracy of the setting of the angles are such that the require- ments for meascring aecuracy can be met. If the measuring distance complies with the require- ments of paragraph 3.5, this goniometer, typically, will produce the most relicble results. For meas- urements of floodlights, however, the reference axis must be oriented horizontally, and the results will be given in the X-¥ coordinate system (Fig. 10)]. Ifthe same goniometer is used alternatively for measurement of roadway luminaires and of flood- lights, it must be possible to alter the zero point of the angular setting (for the angular measurement of Y)between the nadir and the horizontal and vice versa. ‘There are two styles of Type C goniometer: the moving cell photometer and the moving mirror photometer. 3.10.3.1 Moving Cell Photometer. This device consists of a photocell that rides on a rotating boom or arc shaped track, where the light source is centered in the are traced by the cell, Readings are collected with the cell posi- tioned at the desired angular settings (Fig. 4(a)). Sometimes multiple eels on an are replace the rotating boom. 3.10.3.2 Moving Mirror Photometer. In this type of photometer, the mirror rotates around the light souree, reflecting the luminous flux to @ single cell. Readings are taken at each desired ‘angle as the mirror moves to that location (Fig. 40b)]. 4. Preparation of Equipment for Test 4.4 Positioning Floodlight on Gonlometer. When the light center of the test lamp is not enclosed by the reflector, the floodlight should be mounted on the goniometer so that the light center of the lamp is at the goniometer center. When there is more than one lamp that are not enclosed by the reflec- tor, the floodlight should be mounted on the goniometer sothat the apparent light center ofthe Tamps is at the goniometer center. When the lamp ight center is within the reflector, the floodlight should be positioned so that the center of the reflector opening coincides with the goniometer center. 4.2 Lamp Orlentation. When the floodlight reflee- tor and lamp are designed for a fixed relationship between them, such as when bipost base or prefocused base lamps are used, the normal positioning should be used for the test. When the relationship is not fixed, such as when a mogul serew bust Inmp is used, the following test arran-or" aw pivoT-y is UGHT SoURGE Oo) S106 ELEVATION DIRECT UGH SHIELO e) Fig. 4.

(2) When filament lamps having filaments such asC5,C7,orC9, or tungsten-halogen are used with their axes parallel to the axis ofthe reflector, tests should be conducted with the open end of the filament up in relation to the horizontal position of the reflector axis UFig. 5(b)]. (3) When discharge lamps are used so that the lamp axis is along the principal reflector axis, tests should be condueted with the are tube support rod above the arc tube in relation to the horizontal position of the reflector axis. If two are tube sup- ports are used, they should be on the vertical center line [Fig. 5(c)). (4) When discharge lamps are used so that the lamp axis is perpendicular to the principal axis of the reflector, tests should be conducted with the are tube support rods in a plane parallel to the les Lw.a51368 principal reflector exis. When only one support rod is present, it should be turned away from the reflector. (Pig. 5(2)) ‘The above orientations of the lamps are chosen to permit averaging of the two sides of the beam values with minimum distortion of the beam shape ‘end data, When a filament lamp having a linear shaped light source (such as with CCS filaments) is used, il should be treated in the same manner as discharge lamps. For conditions not defined above, the lamp orientation should be observed and the positioning recorded for reference, 4.3 Focusing. In fixed focus units, the lamp light center should be placed at the designed focal point of the reflector. This means the test lamp light center length must be measured and the lamp position adjusted ifthe test lamp does not have the same light enter length as a nominal lamp. In adjustable focus units, the lamp should be adjusted in the floodlight to give the specific beam for which itis to be used. The lamp position used for the test should be stated in the test report. 5. Calibration Procedure 5.1 General Calibration Methods. Either of two methods may be used for calibration, the relative method or the absolute method, ‘The relative method is used when it is desired to state test results for the floodlight in terms of the lamp operating at rated conditions, For test purposes, this method permits the use of any lamp of the desired type having proper physical dimen- sions. The lamp need not operate at rated light output. The same instrumentation is used for measurement of both the lamp and floodlight; therefore, the effects of instrument response dif- ferences are held to a minimum. Data are prorated to the manufacturer's performance of that type of lamp. ‘The absolute method is used when it is desired to know the illumination characteristics of 2 specific floodlight and lamp under test in terms of candelas and lumens directly traceable tonational standards. Lamp current or power, depending upon type of source used (see paragraph 3.4), should be checked with a calibrated meter having an accuracy of 40.25 percent. The selected current or power, depending upon lamp type, should be held con- stant throughout the test. 5.2. Relative Method 5.2.1 Lamp and Gonlometer Callbration. In the relative method, the relative total light output of the test lamp is determined by summing the products of relative luminous intensities and ap-propriate zonal solid angular areas (lumen con, viens). Readings are taken at 30-degree vertical sanevals (5, 15, 25, 35 degrees ... and s0 on) and at eight or more equal spacings for each vertical Swuerval for this summation. Relative luminous Jntensities are those which are measured in @ Tinearly reeponsive measuring system usually not calibrated directly in eandelas. vn constant, k, is established by taking the ratio of the rated lamen output for the specific type of Tamp to the relative total light output of the test Lamb, Relative lurninous intensities are multiplied by the constant A, to calculate the luminous inter Pi jes Gin eandelas) in terms of the rating for the type of lamp used. If an average of various wpnufaeturer’s listings is desired, see reference i. ‘The ratio of calibrated luminous intensity (in ‘candelas) to the intensity measurement instru: sent reading is the calibration constant. This con- Trant is used with any subsequent reading in the foodtight test. It should be used to convert the Jnstrument reading to the luminous intensity (jn imrndelas) which would be present ifthe lamp in the (OPEN END, OP FRLAMENT @ ee PLS morse ee EEE hoo © sae eae 7 foodtigh Jationship betweer having €5, G7 or C9 oF tungsten-halogen lamp consti nee dor axls (plan view looking down en vertically mov Ge Gr of C8 construction and when tamp axes ete Pare a Womber of tes | iewAnge | TestZone | test Points in Sipe | besten) _| ste egress [tr of Beam 1 [7 1eupt 16 1 yoo te 324 3 [ue up te to [4 Gupte 5 100 10196 eo ap 20 z 190 195 | ae 10 Lov 198, TL 130 up to 180 10 196 9 324 foodlight were operating at rated conditions. While the actual light output of the lamp might ilfer from the rating of the type of lamp used, this nethod of calibration compensates for this di ference. ‘The lamp might have characteristics which change when installed in the floodlight. Ifthe lamp fuminous flux is so affected, appropriate equip- ment operating factors should be applied to the test data when used to predict the performance of the floodlight in a specific application. ‘OPENENO HORIZONTAL AXIS REFLECTOR Oy REFLECTOR reflector and lamp Is not fixed for: (a) Mament orth Wien, and when the lamp axes are perpendicur the ton, and Nap); (t) Incandescent filament Iamps having ea fa axle of the rellector (elevation view of fort of SAID Tareps when lamp axis Is etong the principle eter ris (elevation view of front of floodllght): seer verically mounted HID lamps when lamp axis cipendieular to the prineiple axis of the rellector (plan Stay tooking down on tloedlight). yabs088- When luminous intensity readings are taken on the lamp-luminaire combination, the test lamp should be operating in the same position as it was during the combination photometer and lamp calibration, Il is necessary to correct for changes which occur in light output if the lamp position within the luminaire does not agree with the posi- tion of the lamp for photometer calibration. This is quantified by determining a correction factor for this position change. 5.3 Absolute Method 5.3.1 General. In the absolute method, the photometer is calibrated against suitable photometric standard lamps under stated eperat- ing conditions. These standard lamps are sources which have been calibrated for luminous intensity ina given direction by a standardizing laboratory. 5.3.2 Photometer Calibration. In the absolute method it is necessary to obtain a calibration con- stant for the photometer directly in terms of can- delas by means of photometric siandard lamps. At least three standard lamps should be compared in the test photometer and an average used to estab- lish the constant. Ifdifferences between the stand- ard lamps are observed which are greater than required to meet the desired accuracy of test results, more standard lamps will be needed to establish the required calibration accuracy. Other- wise, the calibration procedure is the same used in the relative method (see paragraph 5.2). 6. Test Procedures and Measurements 6.1 Classification. The type of data scan and loca- tion of the data points is determined by the clas- sification of the floodlight. ‘The classification of floodlights is based upon the field angle (see para- graph 6.2.3) ofthe floodlight on the horizontal and vertical axes of the distribution. The classification designated by IES type numbers as listed in Table 1 For rotationally symmetrical distributions, the floodlight type is define as the average of the horizontal and vertical field angle. For non-rota- tionally symmetrical distribution floodlights, the type is designated by the horizontal and vertical field angles in that order. For example, a floodlight with a horizontal field angle of 75 degrees (Type 5) and a vertical field angle of 35 degrees (Type 3), would be designated as a Type 5 x 3 floodlight. 6.2 Selection of Angles and Zones for Photometric Measurements 6.2.1 General. The calculations made from test. data are made on the assumption that an intensity ‘measurementatthecenter of azone represents the average intensity over the whole zone. Therefore, ES LNt35-1989 for uniformity in classification, itis necessary that a standardized procedure be adopted for choice of the zone size. 6.2.2 Procedure for Selection of Zone Size. The procedure for sclecting the appropriate zone sizeis as follows: Step 1. Observe the shape of the floodlight dis- tribution as projected on a surface perpendicular to the axis of the distribution. Step 2. If the distribution has a single peak, make an exploratory scan of luminous intensity along horizontal end vertical axes through the point of maximum intensity. Determine the an- gular positions along those axes where the inten- sity is 10 percent of the maximum, The number of degrees between these 10 percent positionson each axis is used to determine the test zone size [Fig. 6(a)]. The relationship between angle and test zone size is shown in Table 1. Step 3. If the distribution has two peaks or 2 series of peaks of equal or nearly equal value in a line, make an exploratory scan of intensity along an axis through those peaks and along an axis perpendicular to the first axis and centered with respect to the group of peaks (Fig. 6(b)]. Deter- mine the angular positions along those axes where the intensity is 10 percent of the maximum. The number of degrees between these positions on each axis is used to determine the test zone size. The relationship between the angle and test zone size is shown in Table 1. Step 4. If the distribution has a single peak depressed in the center or a ring of peaks proceed as in Step 2, but with the axes centered on the center of the depression as shown in Fig. 6(c). Step 5. Ifdistributions other than shown in Fig. 6(b) are observed, Step 3 should apply in the selection of appropriate axes used to determine zone size. 6.2.3 Field Angle. The field angle used to deter- mine the IES type is the number of degrees be- tween the 10 percent of maximum luminous inten sity locations determined in paragraph 6.2.2 When the maximum field angle does not occur on the axis, the maximum field angle and its location should be noted. 6.2.4 Zone Shape. The zone dimensions should be established in the direction of each axis in accordance with Table 1 so that the zone shape will have some similarity to the distribution and thus give appropriate weighing to differing sizes of the field angle in the directions of the two axes. For example, a floodlight with a horizontal field angle of 75 degrees and a vertical field angle of 35 degrees would have test zone dimensions of eight degrees by throe degrees.6.2.5 Beam Angle.

Lamp electrical operating characterist. should be held constant throughout the test (lam, wattage). In the case of metal halide and HPS type jamps, the lamp electrical operating conditions should be noted both in open air and while operat- ing in the Moodlight, so that differences in lamp performance may be recognized between open sir and in the floodlight conditions. 6.3 Fleld Lumens. Ficld lumens are calculated by summing the number of lumens in those test zones which have central luminous intensity equal to or greater than 10 percentof the maximum luminous intensity. 6.4 Stray Light 6.4.1 General. Stray light may be defined as that light emitted by the floodlight which is outside the floodlight distribution as defined by the field angle lassification. In some instances stray Tight might be useful in illumination or detrimental to vision depending upon its magnitude and direction. Care should be taken to differentiate between the terms stray light and extraneous light. In the guide, the term extraneous light has been used to define that light which enters the photometric receptor from other than the intended sampling angle. 6.4.2 Measuring and Recording. When it is desired to determine the amount and direction of stray light, it is necessary to make measurements ‘as far horizontally and vertically as the readings have significant values in relation to the measur- ing system. Because stray light often is spread through an angular area much wider than the floodlight field, itis frequently desirable to divide the area outside the field into zones of larger dimensions than the zones within the field. In this way, the number of readings and celeulations made will be minimized. See Fig. 7. 6.4.3. AlternateMethod, When distributions are circular in eross section, another method of meas- urement is to make photometric readings in four equally spaced radial planes through the floodlight axis, Two planes are taken in the horizontal and vertical directions and two planes equally spaced between them. Luminous intensity measurements aremadealongeach plane at angles corresponding to the center of annular zones, the size of whieh is chosen such that readings of the zone centers TeP~ resent the average luminous intensity ofthe zones. For stray light, 10-degree zones are usually ade- quate. The eight readings for any annular zone are averaged and multiplied by the appropriate zonal constant to obtain the value of luminous flux for that zone. A summation of the luminous flux in all the zones outside the floodlight ficld yields the“suinse1 y80) pue Bjep oJ,ewWo}oYC IYBIIPoo)) Buoys UHHO} jeOICAL “L “B14 awinomwon 93341030 sNsou3d H9 AoNIOL9 MOL Wega atid Mol = [21.02 of o1 0s 09 of 09 06 aesasene | 6 ne saLunmoo ssunazodts Onis ss | & i i eh BE - ° i 3 7 aie atone) oa 8 ie ve | 2 Soh E sxanm owe 8 Hy xonoreuiaaatisny | &! au 3 rH ed 3 Hi ‘in < Le iE G 8 He ssy19 vooa wana nia is von Nore) a &| |_"8 ips ve2-on yo = a] |B act ue| RE obese | 2 f- Bure al He ino | | Pern ets a wk) TBs TE wonou soma tae [| 2 2 he aS) fie ss ‘uswaint | 3 Bite oa] BEE " 4 E esa 8 HE ssa onunanounasozuon | 9 11 8 galt o Bl ize eniwoasnsouy | g | dai aevennoon | 2 2c 3 8 of} ie ions y3IN39 ON z H FEE essais 35unos wont | ie yz B if + 91 Bl Hi ‘aan | 3 & tse 3] abt x 8 8 supe wel eek vaueouion | 2 6 5 3 to eee: 2 Supe is aa { q a « i 3 9 ya ap F nd ae fon i x ‘ fa # oF °fe ef He att oor # 95] ae woh ssnozwsnaam=xmasnownm — ££ smnoz so suawae WivEGwS "cinta snounn EE tl “WWNOZIHOH SIXV HWI0d HLM NMOHS SI cf s Lila, e (G0) Ausnaun soni 0 Oa NG Bd SnOLord Jes Lw.35-1969value of the stray light luminous flux. Zonal lamen constants for this method are given in Appendix A 7. Computation of Test Results and Test Report 7.4 Photometric Data Processing. The following steps are used in developing information of flood- light characteristies. Step 1. When the distribution is intended to be symmetrical in relation to right and lef sides, the corresponding intensity (in candelas) in the right and left hand sides of the distribution may be averaged Step 2. Ifthe data was taken using a Type A or a Type C goniometer, it will be necessary toconvert this array of data to an array of data corresponding to the angles in the Type B coordinate system, by interpolation. Step 3. Create a plot of isolines of constant luminous intensity from the array of data. Use the array of intensity values after conversion to Type Badata. Step 4, Compute the luminous flux (in lumens) in each zone or test area using the proper lumen constant. Refer to Appendix A. Step 5, Sum the luminous flux in all the zones which have a central luminous intensity equal to or greater than 10 percent of the maximum luminous intensity to obtain field luminous flux. See paragraph 6.3. Step 6. For the relative method, compute the field efficiency of the floodlight by dividing field Juminous flax by the nominal lamp luminous flux as used in the determination of zone central can- delas. See paragraph 5.22. For the absolute method it is necessary to measure the luminous flux of the test lamp before the field efficieney of the floodlight may be established. Step 7, Compute the beam efficiency by deter- mining the beam luminous flux in all the zones which have a central luminous intensity equal to or greater than 50 percent of the maximum luminous intensity, and divide this quantity by the same lamp lumen values as used in Step 6. Step 8. Stray light should be computed by one of the methods shown in paragraphs 6.4.1 or 6.4.3. When the distribution is symmetrical in relation toright and left sides, the information is presented in the form of a chart which shows the luminous flux in zones based on the average of the right and left sides. See Fig. 7 Step 9. Compute total efficiency (optional) by dividing total luminous flux of the floodlight (sum of field flux plus stray light flux) by the lamp. luminous flux assigned in the determination of zone central candelas. See paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3. 7.2 Test Report.
