HTC Instruments LX-101A Lux Meter

A light meter or a flux meter is a device used to measure luminance flux per unit area. In other words, it is a device used to measure the amount of light prevailing in a specific area. Usually this is used as a measure of the intensity, as perceived by the human eye. Illuminanace is a measure of how much luminous flux is spread over a given area or simply put, the amount of visible light present at a specific place. Previously analogue meters were used to measure amount of luminous flux. These meters used to work on the radiometric technology. One of the major disadvantage with these analogue meters was that the measurements were usually not accurate therefore the need of digital flux meters surfaced. HTC’s LX-101A is a premium range of digital lux meters. Equipped with latest technology, these meters are capable of picking even the slightest emission of light flux from any surface.
