Solar simulation

Reproducing sunlight requires exceptional optical performance. Our solar simulation lamps provide the broad spectral output needed for material testing, photovoltaics, coatings, and scientific systems under controlled conditions. 

By mimicking the full spectrum of sunlight – including UV, visible, and infrared – they enable precise evaluation of aging effects, degradation behavior, and longterm stability, independent of weather or season. 

Our lamps deliver stable, widerange output ideal for solar simulation applications across research, development, and materials testing.
