    Measure light quality and intensity with these meters. They’re CE marked, so they meet European safety standards. They should not be used with lasers.
    These meters measure brightness in footcandles and lux. One footcandle is one lumen per square foot. One lux is one lumen per square meter.
    Use the data hold function to freeze a measurement on the screen, giving you time to write it down.
    All of these meters measure general lighting.

    Light Meters for UV Light

    Measure the intensity of UV light to track equipment performance and ensure safety. These meters are often used in sterilization systems, curing applications—such as coatings and adhesives—and for monitoring blue-light UV radiation from welding equipment. All have a data hold function, allowing you to keep measurements on the screen so you have time to write them down. To preserve battery life, they shut off automatically. These meters are CE marked as meeting European safety standards.
    Always wear UV-protective glasses and clothing when collecting measurements. These meters are not for use with lasers.
    Light Meters for UV-A/UV-C
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Light Meters. Light Meters for UV Light, Light Meters for UV-A/UV-C.
    Meters for UV-A and UV-C wavelengths measure with two sensors, one for long-wave light and one for short-wave light. An included SD card stores timestamped readings in Excel format for transfer to a PC. Save and retrieve the high and low measurements you’ve taken using the minimum/maximum memory feature. The built-in tilt stand props these meters up, so you don’t have to hold them.
