Professional Lamp Measurements
Do you want to have a professional lamp measurement of your new energy saving lamps? OliNo offers this services for suppliers and manufactures.
With these measurements you and the whole community get insight in the real performance of these lamps; there is often a difference between the real performance and the specifications of the manufacturer, or the performance is not known yet for new lamps, or are not given by the manufacturer.
In the end, the customer is better served with real and complete specifications and measurement results and is able to make a better choice. It prevents unhappy customers complaining about the performance of the product and sending it back.
For LED and Compact Fluorescent Lamps it is important to inform people about the real performance, otherwise you run the risk that these lamps all get a bad image, while in fact only a small number of these lamps do not perform as promised. A bad image will hinder market growth.
We get more and more requests from different companies. This is your chance to get professional and objective measurement results of your energy saving lamps together with a lot of free publicity from our popular renewable energy site.
Measurement Equipment
For the measurements at OliNo, use very sophisticated measurement equipment. More information can be found on our measurement equipment page.
Color spectro meter with UV option
For our light measurements we use an computer controlled automated robot called BigMama.

Own risk
The measurement of your lamps is at your own risk. Of course we will handle the lamps with utmost care so that lamps will normally survive the testing.
Promotion Measurement
When you choose for a promotion measurement the measurement report will be published on the OliNo website with a link to your own website. The corresponding lamp will also be promoted on the Lamp Portal with a link to your website and optional the price. For the promotion of lamps you need to have a promotion subscription. The promotion measurement will give you a discount (up to 50%) for each lamp measurement.

Confidential Measurement
When you choose for a confidential measurement the measurement data stays confidential and will not be public on the OliNo website. This is ideal for prototype development of test lamps.
Endurance test
In order to know whether your lamp will survive the high number of hours, and also to get a good view on the color consistency, you can choose to endurance test your lamp. See this article for more information on how it is done.
Ambiguities
When there are some ambiguities about the measurement results or when there is a difference between your own measurement results we are always open for discussion.
Eulumdat File
Included with each lamp measurement there is an eulumdat file. This eulumdat file will be added to the online measurement report where you and potential customers can download this. The eulumdat file contains light technical data which is needed for professional lighting calculation programs like Dialux / Relux. These applications are used by architects for light planning, calculations and visualizations. Offering these eulumdat files for them will increase the chance that new buildings will be using your newest energy saving lights. We do not charge for an eulumdat file, it is included in the measurement.
IES File
Optionally we can also create an IES file based on the lamp measurement data (price 10 euro). IES stands for Illuminating Engineering Society. IES standard file format was created for the electronic transfer of photometric data over the web. It has been widely used by many lighting manufacturers and is one of the industry standards in photometric data distribution. An IES file is basically the measurement of distribution of light (intensity) stored in ASCII format. You can think of it as a digital profile of a real world light. In 3d software like 3ds max it can be used for creating lights with shapes and physically accurate form.
Dimmable Lamps
When a supplier or manufacture indicates that the lamp is dimmable we will measure this. We will use a dimmer which uses phase proportioning. The dimmer is computer controlled and simulates physical turning positions of normal wall dimmer. In each dimmer position we will measure the amount of light (Luminous flux), the power usage (Watt), the color temperature (K) and the efficiency of the lamp and show this as percentage of the undimmed lamp. The results will be shown in a clear graph. For measuring the dim function of a lamp we charge 25 euro.
Extensive dimmable tests
Higher accuracy
For a normal lamp measurement the robot will make inclination angle steps of 2.5 degrees and turn angle steps of 15 degrees. This already yields 900 measurement points.
For street lights it can be important to have more data such that a better calculation of the light distribution can be done. In this case you can choose to have a measurement with 3x more measurement points, using a turn angle of 5 degrees.
Re-calculation of eulumdat files
Once a measurement has been done we have the eulumdat file. It is possible to re-calculate a new eulumdat file for you defining an angle and a change in light emitting surface.
Example: one panel has been measured of 60 x 60 cm. The eulumdat file is available. Now the customer wants to see the results when dividing this panel in two parts and putting these in an angle of 15 degrees towards each other, such that they form a roof when looked it it from the side. The resulting eulumdat file can be approximated by using our recalculation service.
See in the example a light distribution pattern of the lamp: leftthe original and right the pattern when turned 90 degrees and then inclined 10 degrees.
Costs Services and discount of 10 %
As an additional service, we offer a 10% discount if the invoice is paid with Bitcoin. During a Bitcoin payment the 10% discount is automatically discounted in the Bitcoin price and a credit note with the 10% discount is sent. Please note, we will ONLY start with activity (or the agreed period starts) AFTER we have received the payment (and the lamps).
Due to computer communication problems with our third-party provider, Bitcoin payments temporary no longer work.
