Influence of power supply on airport navigation lamps photometric test accuracy

The paper presents research on the accuracy of measuring illuminance and chromaticity of airport lamps. The impact of the type of DC and AC power supply on measurement was assessed with the use of electronic sensors. BH1750 and BH1745 type sensors in a microprocessor system with an I
²
C interface were used for the measurements. A professional luxmeter was used for comparison purposes. Experimental tests were carried out under laboratory conditions for three types of halogen lamps: approach system lamps, runway centerline lamps, and touchdown zone lamps.
