To determine the equivalence of xenon arc solar simulator and natural sunlight test results, the sun protection factor (SPF) for an experimental sunscreen preparation was determined using each light source. The minimal erythemal doses (MEDs) were shown to be equivalent on unprotected skin. It was necessary to supply additional heat to the treated skin prior to solar simulator exposures to obtain comparable SPFs. By careful control of the subjects' environment, natural sunlight effects can be duplicated with a solar simulator.
为了确定氙弧太阳模拟器和自然阳光测试结果的等效性，使用每种光源测定了一种实验性防晒制剂的防晒系数（SPF）。结果表明，在未受保护的皮肤上，最小红斑剂量（MED）是等效的。在使用太阳模拟器照射之前，有必要对处理过的皮肤提供额外的热量，以获得可比的SPF。通过仔细控制受试者的环境，太阳模拟器可以重现自然阳光的效果。
