The Lighting lab is developed for the design and testing of different types of luminaries. The lighting laboratory consists of three integrating spheres with the capacity of measuring an electrical and optical parameter of different sizes of light-sources (AC and DC both). The lighting laboratory also houses a Dark Room: a windowless space dedicated to lighting measurement in a well-controlled laboratory environment. Also, this lab houses a goniophotometer which is used to measure the intensity of light leaving a luminaire at various vertical and horizontal angles. From this information, the photometric light distribution of the luminaire is derived, and quantities such as total lumen output, luminaire luminance, zonal lumen summary and other information that is included in a photometric report can be computed.

The lab also has different lighting booths, where various research activities can be carried out. All the infrastructure in the lighting laboratory allows for a wide range of academic and research exploration.

The laboratory also performs testing services when requested by the lighting industry for consultation purposes. The purpose of this lab is to provide an independent space for research on different aspects of lighting such as light spectrum optimization, daylighting, human-centric lighting, light for cultural and heritage space and many more.
