- Abstract
- A research effort has been underway to characterize and quantify the interactions between lighting system components, and to develop standard test procedures and methods for determining both component and lighting system performance. The work has focused primarily on fluorescent lighting systems. This paper discusses the test procedures which have been developed, and the procedure for determining lighting system performance from component characteristics. Sample measurement data are presented to demonstrate the application of the methods, and the accuracy of the performance predictions.
