The proper measurement of light is a precise and complex science. The first step in correctly measuring light is to understand the basics: Color-Rendering Properties, Color Temperature, Light Distribution, Total Luminous Flux and Mura. This white paper provides a brief explanation of each lighting technology, giving an overview of each principle in simple terms. It also goes into detail describing the best and most accurate method for proper light measurement. This paper aims to introduce you to the world of light, and to help you understand how to measure it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6783,"parent":0,"template":"","learning_center_categories":[241],"class_list":["post-6873","white_papers","type-white_papers","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","learning_center_categories-light-display-measurement"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\r\nLighting
