Light Meter Recalibration Lab

Light Meter Recalibration for radiometers, photometers, and spectroradiometers

SphereOptics is an authorised distributor for the International Light Technologies (ILT) range of radiometers, photometers and spectroradiometers. We offer light meter recalibration services for Spectrometers, Spectroradiometers, Radiometers, Photometers, Lux meters and UV meters.

We provide professional recalibration services for companies across Europe, fully aligned with GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) guidelines. All calibrations are performed to original factory standards under the scope of an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation. Our calibration and testing capabilities include monochromators, UV, VIS, and IR light sources, photodetectors, LEDs, lamps, light booths, filters, integrating spheres, reflection standards, and much more.

New: Starting now, we offer in-house Light Meter Calibration Services. With our new calibration laboratory now located on site, you benefit from faster turnaround times, shorter logistics paths, and high-quality measurements. Only a few specific ILT light meter models still need to be returned to the USA, a process we are happy to organise on your behalf.

To request a quotation for the recalibration of your light meter, use the button below and let us know the model of light meter, the sensor configuration, your serial number/s and the type of calibration performed previously.

International Light Technologies (ILT) has relocated its recalibration laboratory in Germany to SphereOptics GmbH in Herrsching/Munich.

As an authorized ILT distributor, we offer customers across Europe improved service, faster turnaround times, and enhanced local support. Our full-service recalibration laboratory provides ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited (UKAS-recognized) and NIST-traceable calibrations.

We recalibrate the following light measurement instruments:

  • Spectrometers
  • Spectroradiometers
  • Radiometers
  • Photometers
  • Lux meters
  • UV meters

All calibrations are performed under controlled environmental conditions. Our laboratory is equipped with advanced reference instrumentation and light sources, including monochromators, spectrometers, spectroradiometers, UV, visible (VIS), and infrared (IR) light sources, photodetectors, lamps, filters, reflectance standards, and related equipment. This equipment is used exclusively as laboratory measurement and reference equipment to support accurate and traceable calibrations.

We calibrate a wide range of light measurement instruments from different manufacturers and distributors. If your specific instrument is not listed or if you have questions regarding our calibration services or capabilities, please contact us at ILT-service@sphereoptics.de.
