PCE-170 A Lux Meter

The PCE-170 A Lux Meter is a portable instrument that measures the amount of light present in a range of circumstances. It is lightweight and dependable.

The PCE-170 A Lux Meter can help you make sure that there are enough lighting conditions present and avoid workplace hazards whether you need to monitor the illumination of workplaces, warehouses, industries, homes, or emergency escape routes. You’ll be able to maintain secure working circumstances as a result.

The PCE-170 A Lux Meter can measure light in either lux (lumen/m2) or footcandle (lumen/foot2) units and has a wide measuring range of 0.00 to 40,000 lux with a resolution of 0.01 lux in the lowest range. Lumens per square meter are measured in lux, while lumens per square foot are measured in footcandles.

The device features a quick response time, accuracy, and a sizable LCD display that can display quantities in digits. The feature set of this device includes a HOLD function, an auto shut-off function after 30 minutes of inactivity, a selectable manual or automatic range, and an auto reset to zero function.

The silicon photodiode sensor used in the device has a response curve that spans the whole visible spectrum and a corrected cosine angle. No matter where the sensor is in relation to the source of the light or in which direction it is coming from, the sensor can measure light.

The apparatus runs off of a 9V battery and comes with a carrying bag that makes it convenient to travel and store when not in use. For professionals as well as enthusiasts who need to measure light in a variety of settings, the PCE-170 A Lux Meter is an excellent tool to have on hand.
