PCE LMD 10 Light Meter (400,000 Lux)

PCE LMD 10 Light Meter (400,000 Lux)

The PCE LMD 10 light meter is an optimal mobile solution designed to measure and evaluate illumination levels in a wide measuring range from 0 to 400,000 lux with high sensitivity. The device integrates a detachable light sensor probe (silicon photodiode with a spectral filter), helping to quickly and accurately check lighting indicators at various flexible locations without affecting the environment or sample.

Outstanding Features

Comprehensive optical measurement system: The device is equipped with a high-quality silicon photodiode sensor combined with a spectral filter, ensuring absolute accurate collection and analysis of light intensity in a wide measuring range up to 400,000 lux. It supports displaying results in two international units: Lux and Footcandle (fc).

Powerful parameter testing performance:

• Integrates a standard sampling rate (4 Hz) along with a Peak hold function with a fast sampling rate (10 microseconds), supporting the measurement of flashing or rapidly changing light sources.
• Provides advanced analysis features such as maximum and minimum (Min/Max) value display and relative value function (REL) compared to a reference sample.

Intelligent operation and connection system:

• Intuitive display interface: Clear backlit LCD screen combined with a visual bargraph next to the numeric value makes tracking light fluctuations easy.
• Large data memory and PC connection: Integrates a data storage memory of up to 32,000 readings. Supports PC connection via Micro-USB port for data transfer, live measurement, and exporting data to CSV format for analysis.

Manufacturing materials and durable structure: Sturdy ergonomic handheld design using high-grade plastic materials, helping to maintain stability in field, workshop, or laboratory working environments.

Energy-optimized operation mechanism: Uses an integrated 3.7V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery, easily rechargeable via a convenient Micro-USB 5V DC port.

Practical Applications

Thanks to its wide measuring range and in-depth analysis features, the PCE LMD 10 is widely applied in many industries and daily life:

• Lighting & Workspace Industry: Testing illuminance levels at offices, production workshops, schools, and hospitals to ensure compliance with lighting safety standards.
• Agriculture & Greenhouse Industry: Measuring and controlling light intensity in high-tech farming areas and greenhouses to optimize plant growth conditions.
• Studio & Photography: Supporting professional light condition testing and calibration in filming and photography studios.
