Introduction
The Wireless Light Sensor is a coin cell battery powered
wireless sensor that connects to a computer or tablet
device through Bluetooth. The sensor measures light
through two apertures. The Spot Light Aperture mea -
sures red-green-blue (RGB), and white. The Ambient
Light Aperture measures illuminance (measured in lux or

Ambient Light Aperture
lumens per square meter), Photosynthetically Active
Radiation (PAR) in sunlight, and solar irradiance (in
watts per square meter). The Ambient Light Aperture
also measures UVA (ultra-violet A) and UVB (ultra-violet
B) allowing ultra-violet index (UVI) to be calculated.
PASCO Data Collection Software will display and ana -
lyze the measurements from the sensor. NOTE: The
software also supports remote data logging for long term
experiments.
The sensor is designed to optimize the battery usage
time. Since each sensor has a unique Device ID
number, more than one can be connected to a computer
or tablet at the same time.
