Artificial solar lighting XC-500EF was used in the verification experiment for the product featured in “Tsuhan Seikatsu.”

The results of a verification experiment on heat-shielding curtains and sheets using artificial solar lighting XC-500EF were published in the Early Summer 2025 May/June issue of ”Tsuhan Seikatsu” (published by Catalog House Ltd.).

· Heat shield sheet for AC outdoor unit
· Solar heat cut
· Cool Curtain 71

The verification experiment was conducted by irradiating the unit, both with or without the heat-shielding curtain and sheet, with artificial solar lighting XC-500EF and recording the temperatures during the experiment with a thermal camera.

The results showed that using heat-shielding curtains and sheets significantly suppressed the rise in temperature.

Artificial solar lighting is ideal for evaluation tests of heat-blocking products because it can reproduce midsummer conditions even when it is not actually midsummer.

If you do not need to measure detailed data, only requiring sensory evaluations such as the perception of heat or imaging with a thermal camera, evaluation tests can be conducted with the XC-500EF.

However, if you need to measure detailed data to visualize heat-blocking properties, the “artificial concentrating-type solar lighting (super spotlight type)” is optimal.

Direct sunlight in midsummer is referred to as “1 sun.” Its irradiance (radiant intensity) is 1,000 W/m2 (1 kW/m2), and the illuminance is approximately 100,000 Lx.

Artificial solar lighting super spot type “Models: XC-100EFSS and XC-500EFSS” are able to achieve an irradiance equivalent to midsummer sunlight of 1,000 W/m2 (in this case, the illuminance is about 60,000 Lx). “Models: XC-100AFSS and XC-500AFSS” are able to produce 100,000 Lx, making it possible to reproduce midsummer sunlight indoors at any time.
