Model # 172

Used to measure the lighting conditions in industry, agriculture and research. Increasingly, the lux meter is also used to test lighting in workplaces, in the decoration of shop windows and by designers. It meets international standards for this type of lux meter.
The lux meter provides measurement results in Lux and FootCandle units, where 1 fc is equal to 10.70 lux. Calculator for the conversion of lux.
The device automatically detects the peak value if this value lasts for at least 10 μs. Due to the selectable measuring range the lux meter PCE-172 has high accuracy. The handling is very easy.
