ActiveEye Analogue Light Meter. Ever wonder exactly how much light your plants are getting? Ever wish there were a way to measure the sunlight? Light is the single most important factor when growing any type of plant.
Photosynthesis and plant growth depend on the sun or specially-designed lighting systems. But of that light reaching the plant, only specific types of energy (in the lighting spectrum) drive the photosynthesis process.
Light is the most important factor affecting your plants' life, light meters are a good tool to check your crop is receiving the light it needs. A light meter allows growers an accurate means of adapting to their plants' needs as the light conditions change during a full growing season.
The Active Eye Analogue Light Meter is a simple to use, hand held meter that requires no batteries. It uses silicon sensors to “read” the light around your plants. The X1 range is for fluorescent, X10 will read sunlight, and X100 for artificial lighting ( HPS, HID, MH ).
If the meter maxes out, move up to the next X to keep your reading accurately. Hold the light meter at plant level, pointed directly at the light source. The meter will give you a reading in Lux (lumens per square meter) and foot candles simultaneously.
Measures in both Foot Candles and Lumens Per Square Foot
Maximum range of 25,000 foot Candles, or 270,000 Lux
