| Scientists worldwide are now using high
tech quantum sensors to monitor plant lighting. The new quantum sensors measure light
energy at the specific wavelengths plants actually use instead of across the whole
spectrum as was done previously. Research indicates that older lux and foot-candle
meters could have error rates up to 45% when used to estimate light quantum available for
plant growth. Start taking more meaningful light level measurements yourself with one of
these new low-cost quantum meters or sensors. All quantum meters and sensors here
measure Photosynthetic Photon Flux (PPF) as µmol m-2 s-1 for
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) in the range of 350 to 650 nm. Quantum
meters and sensors can be used in the field, laboratory, greenhouse, garden or home.
For the experimentor and technically inclined, we provide quantum sensors alone.
