Light Intensity Meter Project

This projects will show you how to create a lux meter.

Light intensity meter project.

We can accurately measure the light intensity with easy to build project. The light sensor for a lux meter can be one of several different types of sensors including photodiodes and phototransistors but the easiest to use and often the most readily available type of sensor is a photoresistor or light dependent resistor ldr. This project aims to design and develop an inexpensive and accurate light intensity meter basically using only electronics components. Such a device is widely used in a variety of applications including exposure meters in cameras light dimmers street.

This project is a great demonstration of what open source hardware and software is capable of. Within a few minutes one can build such an impressive project. As you can see in the attached photos the light meter works fine. Project definition the transducer used in this experiment is a photocell that converts optical energy light into electrical energy.

We can accurately measure the light intensity with easy to build project. Lux is defined as 1 lumen per square meter. As you can see in the attached photos the light meter works fine. This project is a great demonstration of what open source hardware and software is capable of.
