LI-210R
Photometric Sensor
The LI-210R Photometric Sensor measures light with the same sensitivity as a typical human eye. The photometric sensor is ideal for evaluating illumination in work areas, exhibits, interior lighting, and in public spaces. Measurement units are lux or klux.

- Spectral response closely matches the CIE Standard observer Curve
- Excellent cosine response—sensitive to light from all directions up to an 82° angle of incidence
- Detachable sensor simplifies installation and removal, making it ideal for platforms with complex cabling
How does it work?
The LI-210R measures light with a precision filtered silicon photodiode that is sensitive to light in the visible spectrum.
