When planning the cultivation of plants indoors, everyone is faced with the problem of artificial lighting: the selection of a light source and determination of its required power. Plants react extremely painfully to a lack of light, they become weak, strongly elongate, take on a pale green, yellowish tint. Due to the violation of photosynthesis, it is impossible to expect flowering from them, and even more so, some kind of harvest cannot be expected.

It is impossible to measure the illumination "by eye": the pupil of the human eye, expanding and narrowing, adapts the eye to any amount of light. A person does not distinguish an illumination of 100 Lx and 50,000 Lx. In this case, special measuring devices – luxometers – come to the rescue.

Luxmeter LX-1010B is a device for measuring the level of illumination. Illuminance is a physical quantity that shows how many Lumens of luminous flux from a light source falls on 1 square meter. Meter of surface. Illumination is measured in Lux (Lx). By the way, 1 Lux equals 1 Lumen of luminous flux per 1 sq. meter of illuminated area. The luminous flux of any modern light source is indicated on its packaging. But what part of it reaches your plant can be determined using a lux meter.

The LX-1010B digital lux meter is equipped with an external meter with a spiral cable length of 1 meter. This makes it very convenient to use – you bring the sensor to the place where you want to take light measurements, and the display remains in front of your eyes.

Advantages of the LX-1010B light meter include:

• selection ranges (up to 2000 Lx, up to 20,000 Lx, up to 50,000 Lx);
• function "HOLD" – function of holding the result;
• a low battery indicator;
• to take measurements 2 times per second;
• a protective cover for the sensor from mechanical damage;
• combination of high measurement accuracy with an affordable price;
• the battery is included.
