NIST, which stands for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is an organization in the lighting industry. They conduct research, provide standards, and offer measurements for various industries, including lighting.
A Mercury Vapor Lamp is a type of gas discharge lamp which operates by passing an electric current through vaporized mercury, which produces light.
Bug rating is a measurement system used to evaluate the performance of nighttime luminaires. It is a lingo specifically used in the lighting industry and is part of the BUG lighting classification system, which was developed by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) and the International Dark Sky Association.The BUG lighting classification system was created to assess outdoor light
An LED Package (High Power) is a packaging technology for high-power LED chips. This technology, known as Chip On Board (COB), involves directly attaching the LED chip to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) using glue or solder, with the electrical connection established through wire bonding.
Mili-candela, abbreviated as MCD, is a unit of measurement utilized in the lighting industry to quantify luminous intensity. It serves as a smaller unit in comparison to the base unit of luminous intensity, which is the candela (cd).
An ambient light sensor, also known as an illuminance or illumination sensor, is a device commonly used in the lighting industry and various electronic devices such as mobile devices, smartphones, notebooks, LCD TVs, and automotive displays.
UV light, also known as ultraviolet light, is a form of electromagnetic radiation that falls within the non-visible spectrum. It has a shorter wavelength and higher energy than visible light.
Noon light is the natural light that is present around midday, typically when the sun is at its highest point in the sky.
Nominal lumens are initial lumen output of a light source, such as an LED board or an incandescent bulb, without taking into account any light loss that may occur through a lens or other factors.
Light scattering is a phenomenon in which light interacts with particles or structures present in a medium, causing it to change direction or propagate in different ways.
