Gossen M521G – MAVOSPEC Base Industrial Light Spectrometer

Color Your Light the Way You Want It Mavospec Base – Light Redefined

Light orchestrates space and determines how it effects the observer. Light generates an atmosphere of suspense, supports the impulse to buy, increases productivity, creates a sense of security or simply invites people to linger – just a few of the demands that have to be met through the successful use of light.

The development of LEDs with high luminous efficacy, and thus outstanding energy efficiency, has opened up new creative options for lighting design, but at the same time it represents a great challenge with regard to the achieved light effect.

Decisive Factors for Lighting Design

The emitted light spectrum of an LED has entirely different characteristics than those of previously utilized light sources. LED brightness and color vary due to the manufacturing process. Daylight, incandescent light bulbs and halogen lamps achieve the highest color rendering index of 100 – a value which can’t be reached at the moment with LED lamps. In addition to this, various manufacturing lots of LEDs demonstrate distinct differences, so that even when LED lighting is used exclusively, blended light environments occur which can no longer be adequately evaluated by means of previously used measurements for the determination of light color and illuminance.

Successful Light Qualification

An extended measurement of light quality is becoming more and more important for the implementation of lighting concepts. Whereas with conventional lighting technology it has been sufficient in the past to check illuminance and luminance, today it’s also necessary to take spectrum, chromaticity, color temperature, color rendering index and flicker into consideration.

The Mavospec Base ascertains all of the relevant factors of your light and provides you with the assurance that all of your requirements are being fulfilled. The compact, high-quality spectrometer qualifies your light with high levels of precision, reads out the results clearly and concisely at the color display and documents the measured values – day after day for all light sources.

Precision Measurement and Intelligible Qualification Mavospec Base – the Innovative Spectrometer

We developed the Mavospec Base in order to make precise and easy photometry possible for everyone – whenever and wherever you need it. All measured quantities which are relevant for light such as illuminance, correlated color temperature, color rendering index according CIE 13.3 and IES TM-30-15, color coordinates in accordance with various CIE standards, flicker, spectral power distribution, peak wavelength and dominant wavelength are determined for the measured spectrum and displayed such that they can be understood by experts as well as laypersons.

• Mavospec Base – Developed to Optimize Your Light
• INTUITIVE ONE-HAND OPERATION – With the help of the ring controller and just a few keys.
• BRILLIANT COLOR DISPLAY – for perfect read-outs under all lighting conditions and lucid evaluations directly at the display.
• OUTSTANDING MEASURED VALUE STABILITY – by means of a large temperature range resulting from an integrated temperature sensor and automatic temperature compensation of the dark current.
• PHOTOMETRIC AND RADIOMETRIC CALIBRATION – with calibration report for verifiability perfect results.
• INVESTMENT SECURITY – thanks to top quality made in Germany and a 3-year guarantee, as well as the ability to install updates via the USB port for new features and changes to the standards.
• Documented Light Quality – for Reliable Production and Verifiable Results

The Mavospec Base stores measured values to the integrated SD card. These measured values are conveniently transmitted to the PC via the USB port. Evaluations can be conducted in a simple and adaptable fashion with the help of the included Excel sample reports including graphic visualization. Trouble-free incorporation into customer systems and applications is also made possible by the open interface protocol.

Many factors determine how your light is perceived.

Spectral power distribution, color temperature, illuminance and other factors make light unique in each given situation. The Mavospec Base ascertains all relevant values, so that you can optimize your light for any specified requirements.

Precision comes from experience, know-how and perfect calibration at regular intervals.

We are the experts for the measurement of light with decades of experience in our chosen field of endeavor. It’s not without reason that the name GOSSEN stands for continuous innovation – in response to rapidly changing technologies, regulations and markets. And thus the Mavospec Base with intuitive user interface is one of the most accurate and reliable spectrometers in its class, and reflects the most up-to-date technology available on the market.

However, like all other precision light meters, this product also requires regular maintenance, recalibration and software updates in order to continuously fulfill performance capabilities within the stipulated tolerances and specifications.

Calibrated for the Most Exacting Demands

We recommend a calibration interval of 12 to 24 months for the Mavospec. Recalibration is conducted at the GOSSEN Light Lab with a tested and monitored optical table, whose traceability to the national standard maintained by the PTB (German Federal Institute of Physics and Metrology) is assured by means of a Wi41G standard lamp. The lab is subject to test equipment monitoring in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001-9004, and is additionally accredited by DAkkS for illuminance. This assures top quality calibration with international recognition.
