The present invention relates to a light quality evaluating device, comprising a light receiving unit, first processing unit, a memory unit, a second processing unit, a display unit, and a power management unit, and being used for evaluating the light quality light based on physiological perception of human. In evaluating operation, it transfers a power spectrum of the light emitted from a light source to a luminance spectrum of light through a luminosity function. Next, the method compares the luminance spectrum of light with a corresponding luminance spectrum of blackbody radiation thereof. Therefore, an index of spectral resemblance with respect to the black body radiation (SR.sub.BR) would be calculated and then obtained, such that the SR.sub.BR can be used for evaluating the quality of the light emitted from the light source. Moreover, comparing to conventional CRI, SR.sub.BR is a better light quality evaluating method because of having fairness and consistency. |
