Mount & Monitor Wireless PAR Light Meter
Operations sensitive to illumination require instant access to data and alerts to guarantee that assets and exhibits sensitive to light receive the precise level of illumination they were designed for. Whether it's managing the delicate balance of light in greenhouses, art galleries, or the precise conditions needed for food and pharmaceutical storage, accuracy is key to maintaining quality.
Enter the ioX Wireless PAR Light Meter, your immediate solution to understanding your light-sensitive needs. The ioX-Connect system features a mountable PAR Light Meter that's a comprehensive quantum sensor, capable of measuring PAR in two critical ways: photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), which details the light intensity and the quantity of light landing on a square meter of crop area every second; and Daily Light Integral (DLI), which records the total amount of PAR or PPFD that a square meter of crop area receives over a 24-hour period.
Stay informed with real-time email and SMS notifications that alert you to deviations from predefined lighting specifications or to emerging lighting trends. This ensures your products are always receiving just the right amount of light, without the risk of overexposure.
