Conversion of
different measurement units for light meters |
Due to numerous requests
relating to the light meters and measured brightness, we
have formulated in a table a series of accepted minimums
that should be maintained for different indoor
situations or locations. In regards to the outdoors,
substancally higher values are given, for example,
30,000 lux or 200,000 in sunlight. These values are for
reference purposes only and PCE Instruments does not guarantee
their accuracy. |
