Single Light Sources
High-Performance Light Sources as Ready-to-Connect Complete Systems
BF Engineering offers complete, technically coordinated lighting sets for integration into existing test benches, test chambers, and customized applications.
Instead of having to select and coordinate individual components yourself, we provide you with a fully coordinated and functional system.
Everything from a Single Source
Our lighting sets can include all components required for operation:
- Ballast
- Ignition unit
- Lamp housing
- Reflector
- Lamp socket
- HMI or HQI burner
- Filter glass
All components are selected according to the respective power class and technically matched to one another. This creates a reliable, high-performance, and easy-to-integrate light source for industrial applications.
BF Engineering offers high-performance HMI and HQI lighting sets for industrial solar simulation, material testing, and irradiation testing. Depending on the required irradiance, test area, and application, different power classes are available.
1,200 W HMI
Compact and powerful HMI light source for smaller test areas and applications with moderate power requirements. Ideal for laboratory applications, material testing, and compact solar simulation systems.
2,000 W HQI
Economical and robust high-power light source for irradiation testing, material testing, ageing tests, and industrial testing applications.
2,500 W HMI
Broadband high-performance light source with a sunlight-like spectral characteristic. Ideal for demanding solar simulation, ageing, and environmental testing applications.
4,000 W HMI
Maximum radiation output for high irradiance levels and larger test areas. Particularly suitable for professional solar simulation systems and demanding industrial test systems.
Available power classes:
1,200 W HMI · 2,000 W HQI · 2,500 W HMI · 4,000 W HMI
For professional solar simulation and irradiation testing, the electrical power of the lamp alone is not decisive. The spectral characteristics of the overall system are determined by the interaction of the HMI or HQI burner, reflector, and filter glass.
BF Engineering coordinates these components according to the respective application. By selecting suitable burners, reflectors, and filter glasses, different requirements regarding spectrum, irradiance, and test area can be taken into account.
Our lighting systems are suitable for applications including:
- Solar simulation
- Automotive testing
- Material and ageing testing
- Environmental testing
- Irradiation testing
- Temperature and climate test benches
- Design of test systems according to DIN 75220
- Design of test systems according to MIL-STD-810H Method 505.7
This allows both compact laboratory applications and high-performance industrial solar simulation and environmental testing systems to be realized.
Upon request, we can supply our lighting sets with a suitable control and software solution. The scope is fully tailored to the respective application – from simple stand-alone operation to integration into complex testing and automation systems.
Possible solutions include Siemens LOGO! controllers, conventional PLC systems, or individually programmed control solutions. Interfaces and signals can also be prepared in advance to allow the light source to be easily integrated into an existing customer control system or test bench.
BF Engineering has its own software and automation department with extensive experience in:
- PLC programming and automation
- Siemens LOGO! and Siemens PLC systems
- Control and regulation technology
- HMI and operating concepts
- Interfaces and communication
- Integration into existing test benches
- Control of lighting and solar simulation systems
This means you receive exactly the required functionality – from simple lamp control to customized system integration.
BF Engineering does not only supply individual components but, upon request, a fully coordinated and functional lighting system from a single source.
A lighting set can include all components required for operation:
- Ballast
- Ignition unit
- Lamp housing
- Reflector
- Lamp socket
- HMI or HQI burner
- Filter glass
- Optional control system and software
- Optional interfaces for system integration
All components are selected by our engineers according to the chosen power class and application and are technically matched to one another. This eliminates the time-consuming procurement and coordination of individual components.
From a simple HMI lighting set to a self-contained system including control and software, you receive a technically well-designed solution tailored to your application.
Tell us about your application, required power, test area, and technical requirements. We will configure a suitable and economical complete package – without unnecessary components and tailored to your actual application.
