The SpectraRad is suitable for laboratory and industrial light measurement applications. In addition, the SpectraRad spectral irradiance meter is ideal for photochemistry, photobiology, photostability testing, color analysis, and LED and lamp characterization.
The SpectraRad is available with a USB 2.0 interface and a fiber-optically coupled, right angle cosine corrector. The BWSpec software offers measurement and characterization functions of numerous lighting systems. The standard features of the software include data-handling functions, externally triggered pulsed light capturing, color temperature, chromaticity, illuminance, data smoothing, and time line recording.
The miniature spectral irradiance meter includes a 2048 pixel linear CCD array that offers precision for measuring narrow bandwidth LEDs or light sources accurately. The multiple sensors of the meter allow it to display spectral graphs and report spectral data.
KMSA’s New Product Project Manager, Randy Klimek stated that the SpectraRad delivers remarkable stability on a long term basis, and a high dynamic range. He added that the device is ideal for long-term monitoring, and low light level detection applications.
