A photometric test system has been fabricated which can be programmed over the angular range of interest to automatically record the continuous candlepower distribution of a lighting device.
The system is adaptable to most types of automotive lighting devices and readily allows for certification of the device to present SAE lighting requirements while significantly reducing photometric testing time.
The system yields considerable information on the lighting pattern of the device, which serves as a valuable tool in the design and development of future devices.
