The LabFlicker is a semi-handheld flicker tester for all common light sources. All relevant flicker graphics and metrics – including SVM and PstLM – are displayed.
It connects directly to the Light Inspector software giving you live preview of your flicker signal. The LabFlicker instrument can be used with any PC – with or without a Viso goniospectrometer. Hence, the LabFlicker instrument and the Viso Light Inspector software on your PC constitute a portable and precise flicker measurement solution. Raw flicker data can be downloaded for more thorough investigations. As a result, LabFlicker is ideal for laboratories that need to comply with the EU Ecodesign directive or US Energy Star requirements ( Bulbs / Luminaires).
The smart signal processing algorithm frames and calculates your flicker data in real-time. The LabFlicker can be used as a stand-alone flicker tester but gets more powerful when used together with any Viso goniometer. Because all flicker data can be integrated into light measurement files, the complete photometric data set can be exported into one complete report. This eliminates the complicated hassle of combining multiple systems together in order to create a report.
