Lux measuring instruments, also known as illuminance meters, are available in a large number of versions and with various measuring functions.
The palette ranges from pure lux meters to true al-rounders.
But what does a lux meter do?
This device is used to measure illuminance. This physical unit indicates how bright it is at the measuring point, i. e. how much luminous flux of a light source falls on a surface. The further away the defined area is from the light source, the weaker the illuminance becomes.
Illuminance is the incedent luminous flux per illuminated surface and is expressed in lux (lat. light) or footcandles. Footcandle is the Anglo-Saxin measure of illuminance, abbreviated fc. One footcandle corresponds to 10,76 lux, one lux corresponds to 0,0929fc.
A silicon photodiode is often used as a measuring cell in the classic luxmeter. In some devices, the measuring cell also serves as a power supply, so that these devices function without an additional energy source.
The use of the lux measuring device is increasing in all areas of daily life. The measurement of light intensity is of great importance in commercial and industrial areas (topic: lighting at the workplace). Products in stores must be illuminated with the required lux number in order to create the best visual impression for the customer. The lux measuring instrument/lux meter is also used for this purpose.
