Discover Labsphere: Innovative Reflectance Solutions for Every Industry What is Reflectance? Reflectance is the measure of how effectively a material reflects light, a critical factor in various applications, especially when dealing with thin or layered materials where light interference is a concern. Exploring Light Interactions Scientists delve into the properties of materials to understand their light interactions better. This research reveals essential details about surface characteristics and composition, leading to groundbreaking advancements. The Role of Reflectance Reflectance is just one aspect of light interaction. Absorption and transmittance also significantly influence how materials behave with light. Reflectance in Action Imagine materials designed to reflect light back towards its source. Such materials are crucial for safety equipment and road signs, enhancing visibility, particularly at night. Variations in Reflectance Different materials exhibit unique reflectance properties. From the deep absorption of a black body to the high reflectivity of snow, each material has a distinct reflectance profile.

Interior Lighting Standards: Minimum Illuminance values are Essential for Safety and Quality The SABS has published the National Standard SANS 10114-1 in 2005, which sets out the required illumination levels for various indoor environments. This standard is the normative guide in lighting for spaces where adequate illumination is essential for performing specific tasks and activities effectively. Why Maintaining Minimum Illumination Levels Matters Public environments, including airports, industrial facilities, educational institutions, courtrooms, theaters, medical centers, and hazardous zones, a.o. must adhere to these prescribed lighting levels. Proper lighting is not only vital for health and safety but also for ensuring high-quality workmanship and service delivery. Certification confirming compliance with these standards is essential, especially in cases of accidents and/ or insurance claims. The Role of Accurate Light Measurement To verify that these lighting standards are met, it's important to use a light meter calibrated by an internationally accredited laboratory for measurement, ensuring traceability to a national standard. The calibration certificate will specify the measurement uncertainty. In South Africa accreditation is available from SANAS and ANAB. Goldilux Light Meters: Precision and Reliability For instance, the Goldilux Light Meter boasts an impressive measurement uncertainty of less than 3% for its visible light instruments, such as the GAL-2L and GAL-2H models. In healthcare settings, for example, operating theater lighting must be at least 1000 lux. The calibration of Goldilux light meters ensures that this level is consistently met with over 97% certainty. Applications Across Industries In inspection areas, maintaining light levels between 1200 to 1600 lux is critical for detailed work to achieve quality results. In the mining industry, stringent light level standards are enforced to protect workers in demanding environments. The Goldilux meters in their robust housings are highly regarded for their accuracy and reliability, even in such harsh conditions. Additionally, they offer intrinsic safety certification alongside photometric light level calibration certification. For any industry requiring precise light level measurement, Goldilux Light Meters provide the assurance and accuracy needed to comply with national standards and ensure optimal working conditions.

Protecting your skin isn't just a summer activity. Dermatologists recommend applying SPF on any exposed skin every time you go outside, 365 days a year. Yet, survey data shows that only about 13% of adults wear sunscreen daily. When it’s hot, it becomes obvious that you need sunscreen because you feel warm and you feel that sun burning against your skin, says Dr. Abel Torres. But "heat is not the same thing as ultraviolet light radiation,” which is what causes skin damage. UV rays can damage your skin even on cloudy or cold days. The sun’s UVA rays contribute to visible skin aging, like wrinkles and sagging, while UVB rays cause sunburns. Both contribute to the formation of skin cancer. These rays are still present when it’s cold or overcast, which makes sunscreen important all year round—not just during beach season. “Skiers know that you can get a sunburn even though you’re out on the slopes,” says Dr. Brandon Adler. One reason: you’re likely to sweat more when it’s warm, which means sunscreen may wear off faster, Adler says. Most people show more exposed skin in the warm months, too. And, although studies on the topic have reached different conclusions, there is some evidence that the active ingredients in sunscreens can degrade in heat. The Food and Drug Administration recommends keeping sunscreen containers out of direct sunlight and storing them in a cooler on especially hot days. It’s not entirely clear whether the same degradation can occur when the product is on your skin, so it shouldn't be a huge concern, Adler says. That's why the UV-2000S SPF tester is a game-changer. Used by industry leaders for emulsion testing, the UV-2000S provides precise and reliable SPF measurements. This state-of-the-art device features menu-driven application software that automatically calculates SPF according to multiple standards, including ISO, Colipa, FDA, and the UVA/UVB ratio. Achieve accurate scan results in less than 5 seconds. Our Spectralon® integrating sphere incorporates a xenon flash lamp to provide exceptional diffuse illumination of the product sample and minimize data integration time. New high performance diode array spectrometers coupled with advanced fiber optics are optimized for low stray light with superior wavelength stability and flash-to-flash repeatability. The UV-2000 is an industry leading UV transmittance analyzer counted on by leading cosmetic and textile manufacturers the world over. Driven by rapidly evolving industry requirements to simplify research and development or quality control for textiles and sunscreens, the UV-2000 is designed to comply with recently approved testing methods and delivers a hassle-free analytical experience. With the UV-2000S, you can ensure that your sunscreen offers the protection it promises, giving you peace of mind and healthier skin. Make SPF a daily habit and trust the UV-2000S for accurate, reliable results. #SPF365 #SkinHealth #UV2000S
