Optical Radiation Emissions from Selected Sources. Part I. Quartz Halogen and Fluorescent Lamps

摘要

Results of the first phase of a large scale screening of commonly used quartz halogen and fluorescent light sources are presented. Data reported include irradiance, illuminance, the effective irradiance (according to the American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLV's) for radiation at wavelengths less than 315 nm), the time to exceed the ACGIH TLV, and spectral irradiance for each source that was measured. Also included is a detailed description of the spectroradiometer system developed to rapidly obtain the spectral data, a description of the test methods used, and an analysis of the uncertainties in the data.
