Radiometric
Every light meter has a difference tolerance level. Please consult your manual or the certificate of conformance supplied with your unit for yours.
Yes there is but most of the light meters can measure in both LX and FCD. The conversion formula is as follows: 1 FCD = 10.76 LX.
After speaking with one of our highly capable radiometric salespeople, you will be able to determine what light meter should be utilized for your company.
Each unit has it own capabilities so consulting your owners manual might help. If you are still experiencing difficulty, our Technical support engineers will be glad to guide you thru the process.
We use a N.I.S.T. (National Institute of Standards and Technology) certified tungsten filament lamp to calibrate our light meters and only a Konica Minolta certified Service center can calibrate our light meter.
