Lux Meter For Measurement of Light

12/07/2007 1:49 AM

I am working on lights powered by Solar panels. I am looking for a Light Meter or a Lux Meter to measure and compare the light emission and intensity (Lux or Lumens) at a particular distance from the light source such as an incandescent bulb, florescent tube, CFL or LED light. Maximum range of measurement of 0 to 2000 Lux is fine for me. The meter should not be expensive and need not be of very high accuracy. Can anyone help?

Dear cnpower,

what is the difference between the meters of 40 USD and 200 USD? Can you send the website link if available where these specs are given?

Get yourself down to pretty much any photographic specialist and they'll be able to hook you up.

madeinchine.com does not give complete specs and price. I just need one piece for my personal use in India. I think, a photographic equipment supplier may be better option to buy a lux meter where I can also check the specs and see the item before purchase, but I am yet to locate one.

All you need to do is what I do to measure comparative illumination power- simply use a dmm on volts connected to a small solar panel(as used to charge small cells etc)- the higher the volts = higher light energy- that simple!.
