## Description

LxMeter transforms your smartphone into a versatile professional light meter, ideal for photographers, videographers, and lighting professionals. It measures a wide range of lighting parameters including illuminance (lux), exposure, flash intensity, spot luminance, color temperature, and flicker characteristics. With modes like lux meter, exposure meter, flash meter, spot meter, color meter, and flicker meter, users can achieve precise lighting analysis using either the phone's sensor or an external SS04 sensor for enhanced accuracy.

The app supports detailed features such as flash shape capture, luminous exposure graphs, radio-triggered flash mode via Bluetooth, and flicker performance evaluation based on IEEE standards. It offers real-time exposure calculation with settings for ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, alongside an integrated archive to log measurements with notes and location tags. Available in multiple languages, LxMeter is a comprehensive lighting tool for professionals seeking portable and reliable light measurement solutions.
