The LED solar light simulator has achieved AAA+, covering the ultraviolet (UV), visible light, and infrared (IR) spectral wavelengths from 300 nanometers (nm) to 1700 nm.
The scientific and technological advancements of solar light simulators, along with the recent innovations in halogen and xenon solutions, have paved the way for breakthroughs in solid-state lighting (SSL) technology.
What is a solar light simulator?
A solar or solar light simulator is an artificial system designed to replicate the spectral distribution and illuminance of natural sunlight. There are different types of solar light simulators, each with technical specifications tailored for specific applications. Various types are typically separated by the type of exposure used (flash, continuous, and pulsed). With new science, light sources have moved from standard halogen lamps and xenon lamps to LEDs. We have entered a new era of LED solar light simulator technology, with solid-state lighting (SSL) taking center stage. LEDs offer flexible pulse drive and spectra, as well as a lifespan far exceeding that of their predecessors.
How does IEC define “natural sunlight”?
The spectral definition of sunlight is the global air quality 1.5 (AM 1.5G) spectrum. At AM 1.5G, one sun is equivalent to 100 mW/cm² of irradiance. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) describes the characteristics of natural sunlight penetrating the atmosphere in IEC 60904-9; therefore, any industry-standard solar simulator must be able to operate according to these criteria.
