Irradiance Testing Explained for Buyers

How spectrometers and power meters measure mW/cm², and how to read the test report your supplier sends.

Irradiance Testing Explained for Buyers

What irradiance means

Irradiance is the optical power reaching a surface, measured in milliwatts per square centimetre. Together with session time it sets the dose a client receives.

How it is measured

A calibrated power meter records output at fixed distances across the panel face. A spectrometer confirms each wavelength’s peak. Good reports show a grid of readings, not a single best-case number.

How to read a report

Check the distance for each reading, the meter model and whether the figure is an average or a peak. Compare panels at the same distance, ideally 15 cm and 30 cm.

What we provide

Every RTSUN model ships with a spectrometer chart and irradiance map at 15, 30 and 45 cm, plus flicker and EMF readings.
