Light Meters

While the terms are often used interchangeably, a Lux meter specifically measures illuminance—the intensity of light as perceived by the human eye—in Lux (lx) or Footcandles (fc). HK Calibrations supplies professional Lux meters calibrated to the CIE photopic spectral curve to ensure your measurements match human visual sensitivity.

Many older light meters are calibrated for incandescent sources and may have errors of 10-15% when measuring LEDs. HK Calibrations provides modern digital light meters with LED-specific settings, ensuring accurate data for energy-efficient lighting upgrades and Australian building compliance.

Cosine correction ensures the meter accurately captures light hitting the sensor from various angles, not just directly from above. HK Calibrations verifies the angular response of your sensor during calibration to ensure uniform and authoritative measurements in wide-open spaces like warehouses or outdoor sites.

Under Australian Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) protocols, adequate lighting is mandatory to prevent eye strain and accidents (e.g., 160 lx for general areas, 320-400 lx for offices). HK Calibrations recommends professional calibration every 12 months to provide a legally defensible chain of accuracy for safety audits.

Yes, our range includes UVA/UVC meters for industrial curing or sterilization and solar power meters for environmental monitoring. HK Calibrations ensures these specialized instruments are professionally certified for high-precision applications across the Australian scientific and industrial sectors.

Emergency lighting must meet strict minimum levels under Australian Standard AS 2293. If your meter is uncalibrated and overestimates brightness, your facility may be non-compliant and unsafe during a power outage. HK Calibrations provides the traceable certification needed to guarantee these life-safety systems meet legal thresholds.
