Lux Meters (Light Meters)

A lux meter is a light meter that measures the luminous flux falling on a unit area of a surface, that is, the illuminance, in lux (lx). It is used in spaces such as offices, workshops, warehouses and classrooms to see whether the lighting meets the design value, and to document the level before and after luminaire replacement. The category includes the Unit UT383 and UT383S mini lux meters, the Bluetooth-connected UT383BT, and the UT381A and UT382 models; the product data includes functions such as MAX/MIN, data hold, auto range and color correction factor (CCF). Compare the measuring range and accuracy, whether a correction factor is available for different light sources such as LED, whether the sensor is fixed to the housing or separate, the MAX/MIN and average functions, and data transfer. The lux value required for the space is taken from the lighting design or the relevant standard; the sensor must not be shaded during measurement. A lux meter measures illuminance; it is not a device that measures the total luminous flux (lumens) or the color temperature of a light source.
