High Speed Photography Applications

Whether your application is a complete car to car facility or a component test application, EYE Lighting / Iwasaki has the experience to provide a lighting system customized for your requirements. Our systems are designed to be flexible and deliver the optimum lighting solution. We do not force-fit a "standard" system to attempt to meet your needs.

High speed, high resolution digital video dictates the use of new technology lighting systems. It is essential to replicate natural sunlight as closely as possible. EYE Lighting / Iwasaki Solarlux high-efficiency short arc lighting systems provide unequaled lighting uniformity, optimum light performance, and energy efficiency. It is common for our lighting designs to deliver increased lighting illumination while reducing lighting power consumption by more than 70% over standard halogen lighting systems.

Solarlux  Solar Simulation Full Spectrum Lighting Excellence

The latest CMOS camera technology can deliver significantly higher resolutions, light sensitivity, and increased color fidelity. To achieve this, it is essential to replicate natural sunlight as closely as possible. EYE Lighting / Iwasaki short arc metal halide lighting systems were designed specifically for this application and meet Class “A” CIE spectrum standards for sunlight equivalency.

The term "Full Spectrum" implies that a lamp is designed to produce energy across the full visible spectrum. This term is often used to describe metal halide arc tube lamps. At best, this is only partially true. While most metal halide lamps have chemistry corrected to produce at least some energy across the visible spectrum (roughly 400nm to 750nm), the energy content at many wavelengths is almost non-existent. Additionally, there is typically no electromagnetic energy content above 750nm or below 400nm. For solar simulation applications, this is unacceptable. 

EYE Lighting / Iwasaki Electric designs and manufactures the lighting source (lamp) along with the solar simulation equipment. This integrated approach is unique in the marketplace. Any solar simulation system is only as good as the lighting source. Our systems are designed from inception around the proper lighting source for the particular application. This ensures outstanding yet efficient system performance.

EYE Lighting / Iwasaki develops and produces a complete range of lighting technology including full spectrum metal halide, xenon, halogen, and mercury and metal halide based UV lamps designed specifically for solar simulation applications. Whether for PV cell development, PV module aging, or PV module production verification, we have the solution best suited to your needs. We are often able to offer a number of options to provide a selection of cost/performance solutions.

 


Application Specific Metal Halide vs. Standard Lighting Technology

All arc tube lamps are not created equal. There is a huge difference between producing a metal halide arc tube lamp that looks good in a commercial lighting application versus creating a lamp that truly simulates sunlight. When your business depends upon developing quality PV products, it is critical that your simulation system does more than look good. This is especially true if the PV semiconductor material under test is more responsive at particular bandwidths, such as the "blue spectrum" around 400nm. EYE Lighting / Iwasaki proprietary Solarlux™ chemistry provides lighting technology designed specifically for solar simulation application requirements.
