HIOKI Lux Meters

A. Product Overview

HIOKI Lux Meters are precision light measuring instruments used to measure illuminance in lux. They are designed for professional applications where accurate evaluation of lighting conditions is required.

HIOKI models such as the FT3424 and FT3425 provide reliable measurement across a wide illuminance range and are suitable for both low light and high intensity lighting environments.

Important features include:

• Illuminance measurement up to 200000 lx
• High accuracy light measurement
• Digital display for easy reading
• Multiple measurement ranges
• Memory function for recorded readings
• Suitable for LED and OLED lighting
• Portable design for field use
• Professional lighting inspection applications
• FT3425 supports Bluetooth communication
• FT3425 can work with the GENNECT Cross application

These meters are suitable for workplace lighting inspection, building maintenance, manufacturing facilities and lighting system evaluation.

B. Working Principle

A HIOKI Lux Meter measures the amount of visible light falling on a surface.

The light sensor inside the instrument detects incoming light and converts it into an electrical signal. The internal measuring circuit processes this signal and displays the illuminance value in lux.

The measurement process can be explained as follows:

1. Light falls on the sensor of the lux meter.
2. The sensor converts the received light into an electrical signal.
3. The meter processes the signal according to its calibrated response.
4. The measured illuminance value is displayed in lux.

The sensor response is designed to closely represent the sensitivity of the human eye, allowing the instrument to evaluate lighting conditions accurately.
