Description

Hoffman Engineering Corporation was founded in 1955 by J. Gordon Hoffman. The initial charter of the company called for it to support the photometric needs of the aircraft panel and instrument manufacturers. Many of these small manufacturers were located in the Northeastern United States. At that time color and luminance requirements were becoming more stringent and these companies did not have the equipment necessary to measure their performance. Mr. Hoffman recognized that need and sought to fill it by performing photometric tests in his NBS traceable laboratory.

In addition to the work performed in its own laboratories, Hoffman began to develop its own line of photometric test equipment for sale to industry. Among the many products designed and manufactured by Hoffman engineering are contact photometers, luminance targets, integrating spheres, laboratory power supplies and luminance standards. The Hoffman luminance source has become the industry standard for the calibration of photometric equipment in lighting laboratories all over the world. Hoffman is fully qualified to perform tests to MIL-L-85762 and MIL-3009.
