MW700 and SM700 are portable Lux meters designed to perform

light measurements. MW700 with Faster Micro Processor,  has a

smaller, ergonomic and lighter case design. Other features include

100% larger and easier to read LED Display and long battery life.

These handy and ergonomically designed portable meters are

ideal for anyone working on a low budget and still requires fast

and reliable measurements. These portable meters are suitable for

a wide range of applications, such as Educational, Agriculture and

Horticulture, as well as water and environmental analysis. 

Both models are supplied with a light sensor connected to the

meter that measures from 0 to 50000 Lux. 

Average indoor lighting ranges from 100 to 1000 Lux and average

outdoor sun lights about 50000 Lux. Lux is a unit that indicates the

density of light that falls on a surface. 

The light is necessary for the development of the plants. In fact, it

is necessary a sufficient contribution of light in order to favor the

photosynthesis and the closing of the plants. 

The supplement of light by means of lamps electrical

workers is the method simpler and economic in order to

bring the necessary light to the plants. 

The human eye is sensitive only to blue, green, and red

light, so in calculating the Lux falling on an object, only

the light that the human eye sees is counted. When only

infrared light falls on an object, the Lux is counted as zero

since our eyes see nothing. Mathematically, a spectral

weighting function becomes convolved with the actual illu-

mination spectrum to calculate Lux exactly. 

This is the formal defini-

tion of Lux and it makes

Lux an unusual unit of

measure.

Entry level, inexpensive LUX Portable Meters 

for fast and reliable results

Light Sensor 

MW700 and SM700 are provided with a light sensor connected to the meter through
a coaxial cable.

Ordering Information

MW700 and SM700 are supplied complete with 9V bat-
tery and instructions.

Range keys 

Press one of the three “Range keys” to select the proper scale according to the inten-
sity of the light.

Still, Lux can be thought of as a way of measuring light in terms of

what our eyes perceive. The metric unit of measure for luminance of a

surface. One Lux is equal to one Lumen per square meter. 

One Lux equals 0.0929 footcandles.
