About Us
With over 40 years of combined experience in photometry and testing, our staff is committed to helping our customers to achieve their goals with a focus on quality, integrity, and service. The testing equipment used for measurements was selected carefully for accuracy and customization. We use a LightLab International Type-C goniometer with photometer and spectroradiometer measurement capabilities. This highly accurate instrument is capable of measuring the color and intensity of light emitted in all directions from a lamp or luminaire. Test angles can be selected in custom increments to fit the testing needs of all types of customers. Color Quality Testing is performed using either our Labsphere 2m integrating sphere or our LightLab gonio-spectroradiometer.
More Than Just Accredited Testing…..
Although we have a broad scope of accreditation, we are focused on providing the kind of personalized testing that the larger laboratories aren’t capable of. In addition to our commitment to individualized service, we also bring the integrity and experience of a highly knowledgeable staff to our services.
Our team
Mike was principal engineer (PDE) for lighting performance testing with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for three years. He held this position since UL acquired Luminaire Testing Laboratory, Inc. (LTL) in February of 2010. Prior to the acquisition, he was President of LTL for 12 years. His primary area of interest is the photometry of luminaires and light sources and its application within the lighting industry. Mike received his bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Pennsylvania State University in 1995. For the past 16 years, he has maintained leadership positions in various technical organizations related to light measurement. He is a past president of the IES Lehigh Valley Chapter and has been active on several task forces within the Zhaga Consortium. He is a past chairman of the Testing Procedures Committee of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) – the committee that is tasked by the IES to develop and maintain the Lighting Measurement series of documents that relate to the laboratory and field measurement of lamps and luminaires. He is currently serving as a member of multiple committees within the IES Testing Procedures Committee as well as the current chairman of the IES Science Advisory Committee. In addition to his involvement in standards development, he is a frequent speaker on topics related to light measurement. He has presented seminars to a wide variety of lighting professionals domestically and internationally, and as a guest lecturer at the collegiate level to physics and lighting engineering students.
