KMP – Compact Screen Photometry System for High-Speed LID Measurement
The KMP system brings indirect luminous intensity distribution (LID) measurement into compact environments. With its lightweight and space-efficient design, KMP can be perfectly integrated into production lines or inside smaller laboratories without major infrastructure changes.
KMP employs a calibrated LMK imaging photometer to deliver photometric outputs including luminous intensity (cd), illuminance (lx), and color coordinates (e.g. xy, uv). For larger measurement objects, the BV Room variant complements the product line.
Modular Components and Calibration Options
- LMK 6 or LMK 6 Color photometer modules
- Supporting hardware, e.g. PC, power supplies
- LabSoft software for measurement control and analysis
- LID Checker / LightChecker modules for R&D and EOL testing
How KMP Works
Your device under test illuminates a precisely calibrated reflective screen and the LMK imaging photometer records the reflected luminance distribution. From the captured image, our software computes luminous intensity distributions and illuminance and derived outputs such as partial luminous flux.
