Following the recommendations of national laboratories
for photometric calibration, Calibrated Luminous Flux Standards
are sold in sets of three screened and seasoned lamps. The use
of three lamps prolongs the useful life of each lamp as they
may be used interchangeably. The multiple lamp set allows the
user to check the lamps against each other to verify calibration
data over time, and to determine if any damage has occurred
during handling and shipping. Lamp measurement system accuracy
is ensured by routine reference to the calibrated lamp standard.
The lamps are calibrated for total luminous flux (lumens). A
calibration certificate verifying traceability to national laboratory
standards is provided for each lamp in the set. Calibrated Luminous
Flux Standards are also sold individually.
The lamp housing consists of a socket with mounting
hardware to center the lamp filament at the sphere center with
a 0.56 inch diameter mounting rod with a 1/4-20 thread. Cabling
is provided for power connection to the Labsphere LPS Lamp Power
Supplies.
