Shop light meters for measuring illumination levels in commercial, industrial, facility and environmental applications. These instruments are commonly used to evaluate workplace lighting, building conditions, HVAC environments and general illumination performance.
Light meters typically measure illuminance in lux, foot-candles or both, with models available for general-purpose field measurements and more detailed data-logging applications.
Light meters measure the amount of visible illumination falling on a surface. They are commonly used for workplace lighting surveys, building inspections, facility maintenance and environmental monitoring.
Important selection factors include lux and foot-candle range, accuracy, resolution, sensor response, data-hold capability and whether logging or computer connectivity is required.
For applications involving varying or very high light levels, confirm the instrument's measurement range and sensor characteristics before selection.
