Luxmetr TFA Dostmann 31.3000

The TFA Dostmann 31.3000 is a professional lux meter with a measurement range of 0 to 200,000 lux, ideal for precise light level assessment in workplaces, photography, and horticulture. Its silicon photodiode sensor with CIE photopic spectral response approximates the human eye's sensitivity, ensuring reliable readings.

Advantages

The device offers high accuracy of ±3% rdg ±0.5% f.s. below 10,000 lux and ±4% rdg ±10 digits above, with a resolution from 0.1 lux in low-light conditions to 100 lux at high intensities. It features data hold, MAX/MIN recording, and an auto power-off function after 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

Suitable for

• Workplace illumination audits
• Photography and studio lighting
• Greenhouse and indoor farming
• Museum and gallery light control
