Luster Reflected

Reflected gloss is the property of a surface to reflect light from a light source. This is an important parameter for assessing the quality of surfaces used in various fields such as furniture, automobiles, electronics, etc.

Reflected gloss is measured in units called brightness coefficients (BC). The higher the glossometric coefficient, the more gloss the surface has and the brighter it reflects light. Gloss coefficients are measured in the range from 0 to 100, where 0 is the absence of gloss and 100 is the maximum reflection of light.

To measure the glossiness of a surface, special devices are used - glossometers. They make it possible to determine the glossometric coefficients of a surface under various lighting conditions, such as daylight, artificial light, etc. This allows you to choose the optimal surface option for a specific task.

In addition, surface glossometry can be used to determine surface quality. For example, surfaces that have a high gloss coefficient and reflect light evenly are usually of higher quality and can be used in more demanding applications.

In general, reflected gloss is an important parameter for assessing surface quality, and its measurement can help select the best options for various applications.

Introduction

Gloss reflects the surface effect of illumination and visual appeal that occurs when light is reflected from various surfaces. This concept covers a wide range of phenomena associated with taking into account the optical properties of a surface, including reflection and glare in reality. In this article we will look at the basics of glare, its different types, and methods to combat these effects in lighting architecture.
