Light Meter - lux and foot candle measurement tool App Reviews

I spent over 60 years in electro optical engineering, and this is by far the best two dollars I ever spent. I agree the color temperature would be a big plus, and to be able to see the image would be very helpful to get things pointed the right way.

Gives consistent readings. I use it to compare lighting in different rooms and comparing different fixtures.

As an investigator of tripping injury accidents, the ability to get a light intensity reading with my phone cuts down on a lot of equipment to lug onto a job site. Love this app.

Electronic testing. Accurate, easy to use. Simply the best.

Exactly what I needed to confirm my plan for a tropical paradise escape bathroom!

My I phone has a front and back side camera. I have a screen protector on the face that affects the readings. I make sure I use the back side camera for most accurate results with this app. Can’t speak to accuracy compared to a standard. This app works great for my needs.

Have used many times and great for a quick measurement when you don’t need full field equipment.

I just use a light meter for plants, and for that it's excellent. It need not be perfectly accurate for me, and it's great for comparing the available light under lights and in windows as the days get shorter and the sun gets weaker.

It doesn’t measure constantly, you have to hit a button to sample, BUT it is the ONLY free light measuring app I’ve found that will let me swap cams for different situations!

It’s totally possible that I’m using it wrong, but since there’s no instructions, I don’t know how else to do it. It seems pretty arbitrary, like I’ll hold it up to one spot and it will give me a light range from like 18 fcs to 2,000 fcs so idk.
