Lux Meter with data logger PCE-174
for measuring light with memory and interface

The Lux Meter with memory PCE-174 for up to 16,000 readings is used for measuring light in industry, agriculture and research fields. The Lux Meter is also used in oder to determine illumination at the workplace, shop window displays and by designers. It meets all international standards within the category for lux meters.
The Lux Meter displays measurement results in lux and footcandle. Please consider that 1 FC is equal to 10.70 lux. The device automatically detects the peak value, when this value is retained for a minimum 10 µs. Being able to select the measurement range, the Lux Meter PCE-174 is a high precision instrument which is easy to use. This Lux Meter can also be used by inexperienced personnel. Of course, when light is measured, the ambient conditions must be taken into consideration: the distance must be fixed and the angle between the Lux Meter and the object that is measured in order to obtain results of the highest repeatability.
Here is a table of minimum values that should be regularly maintained inside, although outside values are substancially higher. The following links show a conversion table for the measurement of lux and a lux meter with similar technical specfications but with neither a memory nor an interface (Lux conversion/Lux Meter PCE-174). Here is an overview of the Lux Meters that we have available.

- Easy to use

- Minimum, maximum and hold functions

- Backlight display

- 3 3/4 digit LCD; with 41 segment graphic bar

- Displays readings in lux or footcandle

- Battery level indicator

- Auto shut-off
 

- The Overload indicator shows when the
  measurement range is exceeded

Lux Meter measurements of light density

Light density unit L is candela per square metre (cd/m²), this unit used by the Lux Meter includes the origin of the quantity, that is intensity of the light emitted l per surface angle A, ε angle.
L=I/A*cos(ε).

In brief, light density provides clarity of a surface which emits light or of a heat source. The sun has a light density of approx. 1 Mrd. cd/m², discharge lamps about 10,000 cd/m². In the Anglo-Saxon area, the unit foot lambert (ftl) is also used to measure light intensity. This unit is also displayed in the lux meter if you wish. 
1 ftl = (1/π) cd/ft² = 3.426 cd/m²
