MetriTec™ Illuminance Meter
Product Detail
MetriTec™ Illuminance Meter M330 is a versatile instrument designed with a spectral sensor. It is used for measuring illuminance, UV index, flicker frequency, standard deviation of color matching (SDCM), color rendering index (CRI), correlated color temperature (CCT), blue light hazard ratio, temperature, and humidity in various scenarios such as lamps and lanterns lighting, outdoor lighting, greenhouse lighting, and stage lighting. The instrument also can display the spectral curve, which helps identify the type of lighting fixture.The instrument also has a plant illumination mode, which is specially designed for plant growth environments. It can accurately measurephotosynthetic photon flux density(PPFD), PPFD (Blue), PPFD (Green), PPFD (Red), Yield Photon Flux Density (YPFD), chlorophyll-a, and chlorophyll-b, helping users understand and optimize light management during the planting process and improve plant growth efficiency. It is suitable for home gardening, plant factories, greenhouses, agricultural research, plant lighting, and other fields.
In normal mode, the instrument measures parameters like illumination, CCT, flicker frequency, UV index, SDCM, CRI, temperature, and humidity to evaluate lighting characteristics. In plant mode, it accurately measures PPFD, YPFD, chlorophyll-a, and chlorophyll-b to optimize plant lighting for better quality and yield.

FAQ:
What is an Illuminance Meter?
An illuminance meter, also known as an illumination meter, light meter or lux meter, is a specialized instrument used to measure the amount of light that falls on a surface. It provides readings in lux (lx) or foot-candles (fc), helping users evaluate lighting conditions for various applications, such as workplace safety, photography, architectural design, and industrial lighting assessments.
Modern illuminance meters come in different types, including spectral illuminance meters, which can analyze light across different wavelengths for precise measurement, and standard lux meters, which provide general light intensity readings. Some advanced models also feature data logging, multiple measurement modes, and bluetooth connection, making them suitable for scientific research and professional applications. MetriTec™ Illuminance Meter330 spectral illuminance meter has almost all of the above functions, and is suitable for a variety of applications.
Whether for ensuring compliance with lighting standards, optimizing energy efficiency, or enhancing visual comfort, an illumination meter is an essential tool for accurate and reliable light measurement.
