PPFD/Lux meter

What is it?

A PPFD/Lux meter measures the intensity of light reaching a specific point. PPFD measures photosynthetically useful light, while lux measures light as perceived by the human eye.

🔬LopolisBiotech use?

We mainly use the lux measurement as a practical reference for setting and comparing our grow lights. A PPFD reading would give us more precise information, but we can work effectively without it — consistent measurements are more useful to us than chasing perfect numbers.
