Autoranging Lux Meters & Light Meters

Accurate light measurement is crucial for optimising working environments, safety and energy usage across industries, ensuring compliance and enhancing efficiency.

Light measurement built for accuracy

Schauenburg Systems offers two lighting meter solutions, the GOLDILUX LEDLUX Autoranging LUX Meter for LEDs and the GOLDILUX Autoranging Light Meter for the measurement of the visible range of cosine probes.

These two light measurement solutions share a number of key features, all aimed at helping you easily overcome your light measurement challenges, be they for LED measurement or UV-A, UV-B and UV-C light sources. Both solutions measure illumination with over 97% accuracy, feature an LCD display for easy readout, and operate in a wide temperature range from 0° C to 500° C.

The dimensions of these battery-operated units are small enough to ensure the units are comfortable to hold. Each unit offers extended battery life when using the recommended battery, and each unit comes with a manufacturer’s warranty as standard.

Use Schauenburg Systems’ LUX & light meters to ensure correct illumination in your application.

    GOLDILUX Autoranging Light Meter

    This GOLDILUX light meter features a reliable, solid-state sensor that measures visible light in the range of 410 to 680 nanometers. Its response curve closely matches the ideal curve set by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), and it can be used with separate probes.

    Probes on this meter enable the measurement of the visible range cosine probe as well as UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C light sources. This makes the meter flexible and versatile for use with various light and radiation measurements.

    Light meters without sensors are also available. These meters act as a display unit where you can plug in separate sensors or probes to measure different kinds of light. The display unit shows the readings from the sensors, but it doesn’t do the measuring itself. A 3-metre cable is used for this purpose. The cable can also be used for different measurement geometry and set-up.

    Accessories include the instruction manual, protective cover for the detector, carry pouch, plug-in remote detectors (probes), and packing case.

    This instrument is calibrated according to international standards and issued with an accredited calibration certificate.

    The GOLDILUX Autoranging Light Meter is ideal for use in numerous industries, which include:

    Frequently asked questions

    What does lux mean?

    The lux is the unit of illuminance, or luminous flux per unit area, in the International System of Units. It is equal to one lumen per square metre. In photometry, this is used as a measure of the intensity, as perceived by the human eye, of light that hits or passes through a surface.

    LUX meters are used for measuring brightness in lux, fc or cd/m². Some LUX meters are equipped with an internal memory or data logger to record and save measurements. The measurement of light intensity with a lux meter is becoming increasingly important in the mining sector due to safety concerns.

    A LUX meter is used to measure the amount of light in a space or on a particular work surface. It has a sensor that measures the light falling on it and provides the user with a measurable illuminance reading.

    One lux (1 lux) of light is a measure of the light density, equivalent to 1 lumen per square metre (lm / m²)

    Turn the switch to the desired measuring range on your LUX meter unit. Remove the protective cap from the light sensor and hold it horizontally ensuring that the light hits the light sensor vertically. Avoid shadows of your own body in the direction of the sensor.

    Light Condition Typical lux
    British summer sunshine 50 000
    Ambient Daylight 10 000 to 25 000
    Overcast Daylight 1 000 to 5 000
    Well-lit office 500
    Sunset & Sunrise 400
    Family Living Room 120
    Lifts 100
    Street Lighting 15
    Moonlight (Full moon) 1
    Night (No moon) <0.01

    To measure the light intensity, light meters use a sensor called a photodiode. A photodiode is a semiconductor that converts the incoming light to electrical current. The sensor conducts electrical current directly proportional to the amount of light that it measures. Filters and built-in lenses make up the photodiode.

    Lux levels can also be used to determine the brightness of a light source in lumens. A light source with a brightness of 100 lumens has a lux level of 10. A light source with a brightness of 1 000 lumens has a lux level of 100.
