ELK 493 - Illumination and Indoor Installation Laboratory

Course Objectives

1. Teach some instruments and systems used for measuring luminous intensity, luminous flux, illumination level and power factor.
2. Teach how can be conducted the process of the experimental determination of electrical characteristics of switches and contactor systems. Give the information about determination of current-time characteristics of fuses, relays, light sources
3. Give the information about finding luminous-intensity curves of luminaries. Luminous flux and efficiency measurements.
4. Give the information how an experimental report can be technically prepared.
