Data sources

Every lamp in the planner is backed by a published dataset rather than manufacturer ratings. Some datasets are measured irradiance tables and some are digitised from published iso-irradiance charts. Each lamp is labelled with the kind of data behind it, and all datasets are used with the permission of their testers.

The planner currently covers 52 lamps from the testers below.
