Light Meter is used to measure Lux and Foot Candles in three ranges.
The unit has zero reference settings for four light sources: tungsten,
fluorescent, daylight and mercury. The light meter has serial RS-232
output that allows it to be connected to a computer or data logger
for monitoring and keeping results. The unit also recalls highest,
lowest and average readings at the touch of a button. The Data Hold
button “freezes” the display to capture readings. Precise
photodiode and color-correction filter provide cosine- and color-corrected
measurements, and a light meter displays percent differential from
a reference point. UV light is also available. Accessories include
adapters, data logger and data acquisition system accessory. LumiQuest has introduced the Cinch Strap for a
two-fold purpose. First, it enables the photographer to attach LumiQuest
products without installing self-adhesive loop to their flash. In
addition, it can be wrapped around LumiQuest products already affixed
to the flash for a more secure attachment. This purpose is particularly
useful when using the LumiQuest Big Bounce or larger SoftBoxes.
The Cinch Strap is available at a suggested retail price of $7.95.
