Spectrum LightScout Dual Solar / Electric Quantum Meter measures the light used for plant growth. PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) is a more valuable measurement than foot-candles as it measures only the light used by plants for photosynthesis.
Product Features
- Measures photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from 400 to 700 nm
- Range of 0 to 2,000 µmol·m-2·s-1
- Available in a variety of configurations for convenience
- Determines the amount of usable light for plant growth
- Helps optimize lighting conditions for photosynthesis
- Excerpt from "Measuring Light" brochure available for download
- PAR light, also called Quantum light, is measured in moles striking an area over time
- The region brightest to human eyes (400–700 nm) has minimal effect on plants; quantum measurements indicate usable light
Benefits
- Ensures plants receive sufficient usable light for healthy growth
- Accurate PAR measurements improve lighting decisions in greenhouses and growth chambers
- Portable and easy-to-use design for growers and researchers
- Supports better yield and plant quality by monitoring quantum light accurately
Why Choose Spectrum LightScout Dual Solar / Electric Quantum Meter?
This meter provides precise PAR measurements for both solar and electric lighting, helping growers optimize light conditions, improve plant growth efficiency, and monitor usable quantum light in any environment.
