In almost every work site proper lighting is one of the most important segments. In fact ensuring proper lighting is a must for ensuring optimum level of efficiency, productivity and safety. Ensuring the optimum lighting level at the work site, starts with measuring the intensity of the lighting at certain time intervals (it can be on a daily, weekly or monthly basis). For the purpose of performing this type of measurements while getting accurate results, technicians use special light level meters.
In general, light level meters are used for: checking the suitability of the lighting system in work sites such as office spaces; enhancing and ensuring proper lighting level and visibility in outdoor spaces, including public spaces such as streets and parking lots; optimizing the light and ensuring proper visibility in public utilities such as galleries and museums.

How to measure light with lux and light level meters
Measuring light with light meter is simple and easy. All that you need to so is to expose the device to the environment where you plan to measure the intensity of the current light level. After than check and log the result that is presented on the display of the device. Depending on the type of lux and light meter you’re using, you can record the received data and store it to a PC for further processing and comparios on results received in different time intervals.
