Measurement of the Stroboscopic Effect (SVM)
The main cause of the stroboscopic effect is the insufficient refresh rate of the light source compared to the frequency of the object’s movement. When an object is moving quickly and the light source is flickering at an insufficient rate, the observer can only perceive moments when the light is on or off, leading to the illusion of abrupt movement or a complete stoppage of the object.
The stroboscopic effect can occur in various situations and fields. For example, in industry in the case of moving machinery such as rotors, conveyor belts or rotating components – the stroboscopic effect can lead to the illusion of stopping or chaotic movement, which can pose a danger to workers.
The purpose of the SVM measurement is to investigate the effect of the light source on human visual perception and to identify possible hazards that the stroboscopic effect may cause. The result of an SVM measurement makes it possible to determine whether a light source is safe for work and does not cause adverse effects on human health and safety.
SVM measurement is carried out using special tools and measuring equipment that allow the pulsations of a light source to be recorded accurately and their effect on human visual perception to be analysed.
The results of the SVM measurements make it possible to determine whether a light source meets safety requirements and can be used in workplaces where there is a risk caused by the stroboscopic effect.
In our lighting laboratory, we perform precise measurement of the stroboscopic effect (SVM) using the latest measuring equipment. Our services are performed to the highest quality standards to ensure our customers’ safety and comfort.
What does the implementation of the measurement look like?
1. The first step is to contact us to find out more about our services and to arrange a measurement.
2. The next step is to have the measurements carried out by our experienced professionals, who have the knowledge and skills needed to measure accurately and precisely.
3. Once the measurements have been completed, we analyse the results, which are carefully collated and reported. If required, we can provide the results in electronic or printed form.
4. Finally, we complete the job by providing full technical support to the client. In addition, we can offer advice on the interpretation of the measurement results and their application in practice.
