What instrument is used for lux testing?
Lux testing is carried out using a lux meter, also known as an illuminance meter.
A lux meter is a calibrated instrument used to measure the intensity of light falling on a surface,
expressed in lux (lumens per square meter). It typically consists of a light sensor (photocell) connected to
a digital display unit that shows real-time illumination readings.
In the Indian industrial context, lux meters are widely used in manufacturing plants, construction sites, warehouses, offices, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects to assess lighting conditions and ensure workplace safety and productivity.
For accurate results, measurements are taken at different points and working levels across the facility, depending on the nature of the activity.
At Uniquo, we use calibrated and high-precision lux meters to conduct illumination surveys across industries in India, ensuring reliable data, compliance with workplace lighting standards, and improved visual working conditions.
