Overview
Our Lux (light in Latin) Light Meter is ideal for monitoring light-sensitive materials and assets used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, food ingredient production, art galleries, museums, facility management, and more.
How They Work
- The sensor measures light data using its integrated sensing element at configurable intervals.
- Readings are transmitted wirelessly to the UpKeep Edge gateway via the 900 MHz protocol, with Encrypt-RF security.
- UpKeep Edge processes incoming data in real time, comparing readings against user-defined alert thresholds.
- When thresholds are breached, instant notifications are sent via text, email, or phone call to designated team members.
- All data is logged for historical trending, compliance reporting, and predictive maintenance analysis.
Applications
- Grow facility optimization
- Workspace lighting compliance
- Energy efficiency audits
- Display case monitoring

Questions about this sensor
- What does the Industrial - Light Meter - PPFD measure?
- Our Lux (light in Latin) Light Meter is ideal for monitoring light-sensitive materials and assets used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, food ingredient production, art galleries, museums, facility management, and more.
- Where is the Industrial - Light Meter - PPFD typically installed?
- Common placements include grow facility optimization, workspace lighting compliance, energy efficiency audits. It uses a NEMA-rated industrial enclosure, so it holds up to wash-down, outdoor, and high-vibration locations.
- What does it need to work?
- An UpKeep Edge gateway within about 1,200 ft. One gateway supports 50 or more sensors, and readings reach UpKeep over the gateway's cellular, Ethernet, or Modbus connection.
- What happens when a reading is out of range?
- UpKeep opens a work order against the asset and notifies the assigned technician. You set the thresholds for each light meter individually.
