For half a year my hands did not reach Lamptest, and this weekend I devoted myself entirely to him. Added test results for 111 lamps, some of them tested today.
The test for each light bulb now consists of three stages:
- measurement of ripple and color parameters in a dark room;
- measurement of the luminous flux in the sphere, and at the same time the power and power factor;
- measurement of the minimum voltage and operation with a switch with an indicator.
In addition to the tests themselves, I have to photograph the lamps, then crop each photograph, and also prepare the files of the spectra images.
Of course, the test results also have to be processed. Previously, I had to drive in a lot of data by hand into Excel. Now, thanks to the program that Yuri Andrievsky wrote specially for Lamptest, a lot has been automated. Many thanks to him for that!
During these two days I added data on a large number of lamps to Lamptest.ru:
Remez (new models of unique lamps with a solar spectrum);
Geniled (good lamps);
Polaroid (good too)
New IKEA models (since I bought them, one has already been removed from sale, and three new ones have appeared, I will buy and test soon);
Nanosvet lamps released this month with CRI (Ra)> 95. The lamps are excellent, and for special connoisseurs, all models were made in three color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K and 4000K;
Gauss smart lamps (I wrote about them: https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1177634.html ).
By the way, about smart lamps. They can change color temperature and color, so there was a problem how to display the results on the Lamptest. The following has been done: the table shows data for the "warmest" mode, and the lamp card shows spectra and results for "neutral" and "coldest" mode, as well as for color modes (if they are there is).
Now I just have to process the data on Arlight ribbons, which I tested more than a year ago, wrote a review on them (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1106031.html ), but never posted the data on the site.
In addition, you need to "collect in a heap" data on tests of scattered light bulbs (including those that some of you sent).
Next, you will need to test smart bulbs Sber, Navigator, Hyper, EKF (everyone is lying and waiting) and post the results on them on the site. There are also smart downlights (ceiling lights) Gauss, they also need to be tested.
And then, when I rake everything else, I want to buy new Lexman in Leroy (everything that will be) and test them.
I created @Lamptest group in Telegram https://t.me/lamptest. There you can ask me (and hopefully other specialists in the future) questions, report bugs on the site, write wishes and suggestions, discuss light bulbs, testing and everything related. Join us!
I will really, really try not to forget about Lamptest, despite the abundance of work, and regularly add new data there. And I will also try to make out the disgrace on the forum (I did not go there for a year).
P.S. If you gave me light bulbs for testing and did not take them away, please write to me in telegram @ ammo1.
P.P.S. I will carry the bulbs that have already been removed from sale to Ikea: Ledare 1521 lm, Tradfri (all 3 types, 1 pc each). If anyone needs them, I can sell them to you at cost price (otherwise you can't buy them anymore).
P.P.P.S. I have a LOT of neutral and cold light bulbs after the tests. Any of them are sold at half price.
