Photometric Solutions International

What Photometric Solutions International does

Photometric Solutions International (PSI) is a privately held Australian scientific instrument manufacturer specializing in the design and production of photometric and spectroradiometric testing and measurement equipment. Founded and headquartered in Huntingdale, Victoria, the company builds integrated laboratory systems used by independent testing and certification authorities, government R&D establishments, lighting manufacturers, and universities to verify compliance with international standards (ECE, SAE, JIS, ADR, IEC 62471, CIE).

The core product portfolio spans goniophotometers for automotive/signalling (ASG series) and general lighting (LG series, GC-1.0 portable GonioCase), integrating spheres from 0.5m to 3.0m diameter for luminous flux measurement, spectroradiometers (SP-4C, PH-1L, LMK video photometer), specialised systems including tunnel entrance photometers, BRDF/BTDF measurement (BiRT), photovoltaic EQE/IQE (PVE300), and photobiological safety testers, plus reference light sources (ISL-2.0, RefLED-2.0, FS-250A Ganzfeld, TLCS-300) and proprietary control/report-generation software. High-end systems deliver ≤0.01° angular accuracy and <0.1% stray light, indicating precision instrumentation targeting accredited laboratories rather than commodity buyers. Component technologies are sourced from partners (Bentham, JETI, OWIS) and integrated into PSI-branded solutions.

Revenue is generated primarily through custom-quoted hardware sales of complete measurement systems, supplemented by NATA-accredited measurement, calibration, and consultancy services delivered through affiliated Steve Jenkins & Associates, plus custom software development for legacy equipment upgrades. Go-to-market combines direct sales from the Australian headquarters with an international dealer network covering Mexico, Europe, China, India, Indonesia, Korea, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand/Singapore, and Vietnam. Pricing is bespoke per application rather than list-based. The company is 100% Australian owned, founder/management-led by CEO Dr Steve Jenkins and Technical Director Tony Bergen, with no disclosed external funding.
