“Like in any engineering discipline, accurate data is crucial when designing products with LEDs,” said Kelly. “Consequently, the sciences of radiometry and photometry are very important tools that must be understood and applied correctly to get the most out of designs using LEDs.”

Using his expertise as the current manager of the Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT) LightLab, Kelly’s talk discusses the importance of radiometric and photometric testing of LEDs. During the session, Kelly will focus on both theory and practice, giving attendees information that can be immediately applied to current designs. Kelly’s talk will also delve into what equipment is required to make these measurements and the limitations presented in said equipment. This session is applicable for intermediate designers with some experience in lighting measurement.
