Pocket Lux Meter

It does not change when the lighting changes

I bought the combined package of Lux Meter and Kelvin meter. The Lux Meter unfortunately is not working. No matter how bright is the light max it displays about 900-1000 lumen. I even deleted and reloaded but still no improvement. The Kevin meter seems to be ok.

I have been using this app for a few weeks to gauge levels of lighting and I have to say it does a great job. My next task is to compare the results against a calibrated light meter to see how close this is. I have the the impression it is going to be fairly accurate. I like the companion app that tells me the temperature of light as well. Very handy for video and photography to match color.

I never really saw any value to this app. It didn’t seem to matter whether the reading was on top of the table in direct view of the light source or under the table almost completely blocked from the light source, the readings were identical. I provided feedback to the developer about a year ago or so and haven’t heard any suggestions as to what the problem might be. I apologize for the 1 rating, zero was not available.

Lux and lumen are not the same thing. The app will say ‘reading lux’ but not actually read it. The app advertises lux as well as lumens and is therefore false advertising. I’d like a reimbursement.

The foot candle readings were random, inaccurate and non-repeatable. In a fairly dark interior room the readings were around 100 foot candles. In a bright exterior room the readings were identical, about 95 foot candles, In a moderately lit office area, the readings were also about the same. I don’t think this app did anything except generate random numbers with a lot of pseudo-technical jargon thrown in. Waste of money.

ok

It’s a awesome app! I use it to set light for my photography sessions. It’s the only app that actually works and it’s accurate. Get it now.

It will give the same reading if inside or outside. The only time the meter varies like it's working. Is when I'm in a dark room and then move to a well lit room.

Love this meter. Best companion on set. Just works as you’d imagine.
