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:
- Mining & geology
- Environmental hygiene
- Medicine & health
- Agriculture
- Architecture
- Hobbies & domestic applications
- Safety & security
- Marketing & advertising displays
- Street lighting
- Sports

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.
What is a LUX meter used for?
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.
What does a LUX light meter measure?
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.
What is the measurement of lux?
One lux (1 lux) of light is a measure of the light density, equivalent to 1 lumen per square metre (lm / m²)
How do you read a luxmeter?
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.
What is the typical lux in specific light conditions?
| 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 |
How does a LUX sensor work?
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.
How bright is 10 lux?
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.
