Design and optimization of a retinal flux density meter
Most lighting level measurements are characterized in terms of illuminance. While this is useful for indoor applications, illuminance levels are not always as useful for outdoor lighting efficiency characterization. Lighting designers and researchers need a method to accurately characterize their outdoor or low level lighting applications. This invention...
