Foot Candle Lux Light Meter

I am doing my first commisioning with douglas photocell sensors and I need to take ambient LUX readings to see when to trigger presets.

Does anybody have favorites that will not break the bank?

  • If you have a window mobile device you can download free ware called MToolBox.  There is a utility that takes the light sensor for your phone (used in dimming the screen) and apply it to the app.  The Reading is fairly close.  I used it and compared it to our demo rig with a photo cell.
