    Designing a solar chamber

    Thanks for the reply. So how does one determine how much "light" to throw on the subject object, once you have determined sources that supply the required spectral content? Is 100,000 lux (10K fc) the accepted norm within the testing industry? I can manage to configure a system that...

    I need to design a solar testing chamber that my client is basing on MIL-STD-810F, where they prescribe a range of illuminance from 55 to 1140W/m^2,delivered to three different sides of a 4' cube. Using the conversion formula of 683 x 1140W/m^2 would give us a delivered amount of 778,620 lux...
