Features and Applications of the Illuminance Meter
A lux meter, also known as a lux meter, is a specialized instrument for measuring illuminance. It is to measure the degree to which an object is illuminated, that is, the ratio of the luminous flux obtained on the surface of the object to the illuminated area. An illuminance meter is usually composed of a selenium or silicon photovoltaic cell, a filter, and a microampere meter.
Now let's take a closer look at the functional characteristics of the illuminance meter
1. Track and record changes in illumination throughout the entire process, with a long recording time (recording data every 15 minutes for up to 5 months or even longer), integrating data collection, recording, and transmission.
2. The whole machine has low power consumption and is powered by a lithium battery (built-in), with a battery life of over one year.
3. The software has two versions, Chinese and English, which can be chosen freely. The English version has international universality.
4. The software has powerful functions and convenient data viewing.
5. Automatically generate record curve graphs, and the collected data can be processed using EXCEL, WORD, or software.
6. The recording time interval can be set arbitrarily from 2 seconds to 24 hours.
7. Small size (58 × 72 × 29mm), easy operation, reliable performance (suitable for harsh environments, no data loss in case of power failure).
8. It can automatically sound an alarm.
Application scope
1. Application in general public places
In order to ensure that people can live under suitable lighting conditions, China has formulated hygiene standards for indoor (including public places) illuminance, and uses illuminance meters to measure illuminance in various places.
2. Lighting production industry, photography industry, stage lighting layout, etc
Illuminance meters have been successfully applied to multiple solutions, such as the lighting industry, photography industry, stage lighting layout, etc. Different models of illuminance meters can meet different measurement requirements.
3. Application of factory production line
In factories and production lines, the lighting requirements are relatively strict. Continuous work can cause visual fatigue and greatly reduce work efficiency. Usually, the illuminance requirement is ≥ 1000Lx. For places with high lighting requirements, a large range illuminance meter can be selected, with a super large range that can cope with strong light line illuminance measurement.
4. The application of illuminance meters is very extensive, including applications in our daily lives such as factories, warehouses, schools, offices, homes, streetlight construction, laboratories, and so on.
