Quantum Light Meters are calibrated to display PPFD. LightScout Quantum Light Meters are calibrated for sunlight. Due to differences in the spectrum generated by artificial lights, the following adjustments must be made in the value shown on a sunlight-calibrated meter: Fluorescent: reads 8% high, so multiply the display by 0.92. -
Page 5: Foot-Candles
Foot-Candles Foot-Candle meters measure light intensity as perceived by the human eye. The eye perceives light of approximately 560 nm most strongly, with perception half that at 500 and 600 nm. The meters display values in the range 0-1999. This must be multiplied by 10 to obtain Foot-Candles, so the meter range is 0-19,990 Foot-Candles. -
Page 6: Cosine Correction
Cosine Correction Because the detected light intensity is dependent on the an- gle of the incoming rays, the sensor must be constructed to minimize this error. This is called cosine correction because the radiant intensity of the incident light is dependent on the cosine of the angle between the sun and an imaginary verti- cal line extending from the ground. -
