A collection of lamp emission spectra for an Aputure Amaran pocket-sized daylight-balanced LED light type AL-M9.

Usage

amaran_m9.mspct

Format

amaran_m9.mspct is a "source_mspct" object containing a collection of 6 "source_spct" objects as members. Members are named.

Details

amaran_m9.mspct contains a collection of "source_spct" objects with spectral emission data for six different dimming settings. The lamp was maintained at the same distance of 160 mm from the input optics of the spectrometer. In all cases the diffuser was kept in place. Thus, the different spectra are comparable and provided expressed in calibrated spectral energy irradiance units.

This light source has 9 LEDs in a 3 \(\times\) 3 grid. The LEDs are in SMD packages. A built-in Lithium battery powers it. It comes with a detachable plastic diffuser

The variables in each member spectrum are as follows:

  • w.length (nm)

  • s.e.irrad (\(\mathrm{W\,m^{-2}\,nm^{-1}}\))

Note

Instrument used: Ocean Optics Maya2000 Pro single-monochromator array spectroradiometer with a Bentham cosine corrected input optics. A complex set of corrections and calibration procedure used. The source_spct objects have attributes with additional information on the measurement and data processing. Measurements done by Pedro J. Aphalo. Data acquired and processed using R packages 'ooacquire' and 'photobiology'.
