Light meters come in all shapes and sizes.
When you are taking pictures or deciding on the amount of lights to install in a room, you must know the amount of lighting. While many homeowners may be satisfied with a visual confirmation of the amount of light available, there is a more scientific way of calculating light brightness. Using a special device that measures the brightness of the light can give you an accurate numerical representation of the amount of lighting in a room. Fortunately, it is a simple process with the right directions, and it is relatively inexpensive.
Instructions
1. Install the batteries into the light meter. Read the manufacturer's directions for battery type and amount of batteries required.
2. Turn on the light sources you wish to measure.
3. Point the light meter at the light source you wish to measure and turn it on. The meter will give you a number to indicate the level of brightness in either "Foot-Candles" or "LUX".
