Digital light meter

Hey! I ordered mine 7 weeks ago :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh fair enough, I only ordered mine about 7 hours ago :slight_smile:

Memory is also a handy feature if you are taking OTF measurements by yourself.

I use the “lux meter” app from the play store. Seems to get quite reliable results on my Note 4, when testing with some ANSI specced lights I have.

And it’s free, how BLF is that :wink:

I do wonder how it would withstand a side by side test with the mentioned meter though…

Well the meter has arrived, 8 days from ordering to turning up at my house in the UK, well done Banggood that is the fastest anything from China has ever arrived :slight_smile:
Now can anybody suggest a light meter app for an Android phone as I would like to reference it against something.
I will use a light with a known ANSI rating first to judge how accurate both the light meter & app are.
Oh & can somebody point me to good thread (or explain) on how best to use the meter & interpret the results please.

Ah well I have tried half a dozen times & can”t post a pic, again :frowning:
I don”t know what it is with this forum & pictures but of the forums I am on it is the only one I always struggle with.

Check one of the two other topics you tried it in, it is a matter of replacing a few symbols of the pics URL.

Done that the same as before & dosen”t work.
Have tried transferring the pics from dropbox to tinypic & tinypic says invalid code ?
The other forums I use putting up pics is simple this one is always a struggle.

There you go the above is the result.
It is so frustrating trying to post pics on this forum for me.

I am replacing ?dl=0 with ?raw=1 at the the end of the dropbox link as I did previously.

Managed to upload pic from dropbox to tinypic then to the forum from tinypic.
No idea why tinypic was refusing to accept the dropbox code earlier ?

ah, there it is! :wink:

Looking good!
I think the one I ordered must be much MUCH better :stuck_out_tongue:

You just need to replace dl=0 with dl=1.

If download is false (0) then it tries to pull us to dropbox.com. If you set download to true (1) then it does a download right into the page.

Well it”s just over 2 dollars cheaper but where is it :person_facepalming:
BTW have you read the FAQ”s in the ad for yours ?
Says if you buy more than 5 pieces you get 95% discount !

That is exactly what I am doing, I will do it again

Oops misread that so lets try gain
