BACKGROUND3
Claims that special measurement instruments and processes are required for: LED light sources Measuring in the Mesopic range
That you can’t apply TR28 Measurement of road lighting performance on site BS EN 13201-4:2015 Methods of measuring lighting performance
GN3/16 clarifies the approach

PANEL MEMBERS4
Teresa Goodman National Physical Laboratory Chair CIE TC2-65 Photometric measurements in the mesopic range
Peter Raynham University College London
Steve Fotios Sheffield University
Allan Howard WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff
#ILPSummit
WHY MEASURE?
Verification of compliance with performance specificationVerification of compliance with design expectationsLighting performance monitoring, maintenance reasonsLighting control / adaptive lighting, optimising energy savings Investigation of discrepancies between real conditions and
design expectations
#ILPSummit
CORE REQUIREMENTS6
Only undertaken by those professionally qualified and competent in illuminating engineering
Must be aware of: Measurement Standards i.e. BS EN13201-4:2015 & TR 28 The properties and calibration of the instrument(s) Lighting installation design & measurement grids Health & safety requirements for safe working on site
- National Highway Sector Scheme Found 01 basic health & safety Test 04 Photometric performance testing
#ILPSummit
MEASURING INSTRUMENT7
Illuminance measurement
#ILPSummit
WHAT TO CONSIDER Quality
- Robust- Battery life- Short-term reproducibility- Portable
Consideration should be given to the viewing angle of the intended real-world receiver
When measuring illuminance on a surface we record all light falling in an arc of 180 degrees above the surface and 360 degrees around the sensor. The sensor must therefore be able to accurately capture light from all these directions
#ILPSummit
THE SENSOR
Needs to reflect the response of the eye (CIE curve)Check sensor repose based upon supplier data sheet
#ILPSummit
THE SENSOR
Not all sensors are the same
#ILPSummit
CALIBRATION
Where measurements are to be used for contractual or legal performance measurements then the instrument(s) must be calibrated
Calibration Traceable to national standards such as those by ‘NIST’ or ‘NAMS’ and
manufacturers recommendations ISO 17025 accredited laboratory
Calibration frequency depends upon the frequency of use and how the instrument is treated, generally every 12 months is sufficient
An operation log should be maintained, thus if an instrument is found to be out of calibration its use can be tracked and past results checked
#ILPSummit
HIGHWAY LIGHTING12
Standards based on Photopic levels (50 lux plus)Outdoor lighting levels – 50 lux down to 0.05 luxOperating in the Mesopic range
#ILPSummit
HIGHWAY LIGHTING13
Mesopic illuminance lies between the Photopic and Scotopic levels
Position changes with adaption levelNo straight forward correlationCIE 191:2010
Defines the system to calculate Mesopic quantities Depends upon the:
- Photopic adaption luminance- S/P ratio of the adaption field
No agreed method for evaluating these adaption conditionsNot possible to take measurements of Mesopic illuminance
#ILPSummit
CIE TC2-6514
Photometric measurements in the Mesopic rangeAwaiting research into the adaption field in respect to:
Size Shape Location Visual scene
Develop the adaption coefficient to be evaluatedEnable practical on-site measurement
#ILPSummit
BS5489-1:201315
Choose the lighting class and light source
Where permitted apply the light source S/P ratio
Methodology described in PLG03
#ILPSummit
TR2816
Measurement process set against design calculationsBased upon performance of the luminaire & light sourceProvides test / survey grids based upon design calculationsSurveys measure actual illuminance at measurement pointsCompared to calculated levelsDetermine the performance of the installation
#ILPSummit
GN 3/1617
Standard photometer to be usedNo requirement to measure the S/P ratioNew installations with design dataExample:
Choose light class and source type Run design programme, use S/P ratio where permitted Design programme targets a lower illuminance based on class Lower illuminance values should be found on site.
Where S/P ratio is not applicable then use calculated values
#ILPSummit
GN 3/16 - EXAMPLE18
Lighting class P2 Class average illuminace 10 lux
Light source Ra > 60S/P ratio 2.4Target average illuminace 7.3 luxOn site measurement expected to demonstrate 7.3 lux
#ILPSummit
GN 3/1619
Existing installationNo design dateApplication of S/P ratio permittedMeasured illuminance to be reverse assessed based upon
manufacturers advised S/P ratioUse PLG03 to assign the appropriate lighting classWhere S/P ratio is not applicable (M Class) then use
measured values
#ILPSummit
GN 3/16 - EXAMPLE20
Measured grid provides an average illuminance 7.3 luxS/P ratio permitted for Class of roadS/P ratio of 2.4Apply PLG03Demonstrates compliance with Class P2 (10 lux)
#ILPSummit
UNCERTAINTIES21
Discussed in: TR28 CIE 194 BS EN 13201-4:2015
Need to be considered
#ILPSummit
SUMMARY22
No special test instruments are requiredGN provides clear guidanceCompetency for those undertaking this workConsiderations for S/P ratio
