The variety of lux meters on the market gives the users the possibility to select the model, suitable for the measuring task and for their budget as well. The measurement of illumination in the room, in the workplace, in the warehouse, even in the open air may be absolutely compulsory with the strict requirements to the accuracy of the measurements, or have spontaneous character and precise determination of the values is not a priority. The simplest lux meters are easy to operate and convenient, due to the LC display and clear menu. They do not have light filters as against to the most modern devices, but are still very appropriate for the measurement outside, for the gardeners in the greenhouses, inside for various measuring tasks, but it is not worth to expect high accuracy from such devices.
Modern lux meters often possess special corrective filters, which make the sensitivity of the photo element of the lux meter closer and similar to the sensitivity of the human eye. The photodiodes of the cheaper models of lux meters are sensitive to all types of the emission, IR and UV, which makes the accuracy of the measurement lower. Besides, more complicated models of the lux meters can be equipped with the accessories like various nozzles. They are needed for the specious illumination characteristics or measurement under the conditions when light incidence occurs at different angles. The nozzles help to compensate for this and achieve accurate results.
During the application of the lux meter, it is necessary to pay attention to the type of the source of light, in other words, type of the lamp, since emission spectrum from the diode lamp will be different from the one coming from the fluorescent lamp etc, thus, the coefficient for different types of lamps is introduced.
Lux meters capable to measure the UV emission are applicable for more complicated tasks, like sanitary control, technical control, solarium and different types of researches and experiments.
The most modern devices carry out a wide range of measurements, due to the possibility of combination with different sensors: from UV sources to various artificial light sources. Such devices may be called professional, and they are suitable for the most demanding measurements in the various laboratories, including medical. There is a possibility to connect the devices to the computer and not only store, but also to process and analyze all the measurements later.
Lux measurements are required both in private and public life, since life without life is impossible. Growing conditions for plants, mood of people, level of comfort, convenience and favorable conditions for performing numerous tasks – all depends on illumination. Industrial sector stands in this list quite ahead, because it goes not only about comfort, but often about safety.
ISO standards describe the requirements to the illumination in the workplace, in order to avoid accidents and damage to health of people caused by insufficient illumination. Correct distribution of the lighting device in the company: offices, corridors, meeting-rooms, warehouses etc. helps to sustain a good productivity level and creation of the most optimal working conditions. Lux meter replaces the visual control and provides exact numbers that indicate what and where should be changed. The choice of the light source may be wrong, the lamps may turn out to be dirty and thus block the light, or there may be just not enough lighting devices. All these problems can be easily eliminated and lux meter is a perfect auxiliary tool for this purpose.
