One Electrical invests in Viso LabSpion for lighting laboratory

One Electrical Ltd has expanded its lighting laboratory facilities with the Viso LabSpion (pictured below). Based in Manchester, and with 16 years in the lighting business, the company has more than 1,500 resellers, across 30 countries.

Rob Chadwick, Director said: “This has been a large investment, but to us it is not a matter of ‘wanting something’, but rather ‘needing’. To be recognised as one of the top names in the industry, it is a must that you have solid quality control procedures in place. Being in the industry longer than most, we have a unique and thorough testing procedure already in place. But this now takes us to a new level.

“We have always been able to supply our customers with fixture data, including IES and LDT files for lighting designers. But for the first time, the LabSpion gives us the possibility to actually create these in-house, and independently verify the information we may have been previously given.”

The LabSpion is a complete light measurement solution covering all light sources from small lamps, LED chips to large panels and street lamps. The 2 axis goniometer enables the system to measure the full 3D distribution field of any lamp giving lighting professionals comprehensive LDT and IES simulation files.

Continues Chadwick: “We don’t believe there is any other LED lighting supplier out there, with such a thorough procedure, and as such, we have already received calls to ‘rent’ our equipment/lab.

“We pride ourselves on acting quickly in this fast changing lighting market, and the LabSpion has made our team more dynamic than ever. When we are designing and releasing patented products, or products more efficient, than currently on the market, it is essential our IP remains private until launch, and that we have the technology to verify the results.

“Many other cheaper pieces of equipment currently available, simply cannot give us the accuracy we need. Basically using a spectrometer sensor and a built-in power analyser, the unique Viso technology enables fast measurements and ensures all data to be measured quickly, making other equipment such as integration spheres redundant.”
