Features & Capabilities

Lux Light Meter is a straightforward Chrome extension that converts your device into a convenient light meter using the built-in light sensor. It measures illuminance in lux (lx) and foot-candles (fc), providing users with accurate readings of ambient light intensity.

Key features include choosing your preferred measurement unit, calibration via a multiplier, and real-time tracking of minimum, maximum, and average light values during measurement sessions. Additional functionalities such as pausing measurements, resetting stats, multi-language support, and the option to keep the screen on make it user-friendly. The extension is entirely free, with no in-app purchases, making it accessible to everyone seeking simple and reliable light measurement tools. Note that measurement accuracy depends on the device's hardware capabilities.

User Reviews

Users praise Lux Light Meter as a free, easy tool that delivers practical light measurements. It’s valued for plant-lighting planning and quick, relative assessments, with lux/foot-candle readouts and mean/median values at a glance. However, reviews note recurring issues: intrusive ads (often fullscreen at startup) and compatibility problems on devices lacking a light sensor. It isn’t reliable for absolute measurements but remains useful for relative comparisons and calibration where hardware supports it.

Pros

Free to use.
Simple and easy to use.
Provides practical light metrics at a glance (lux and foot candles, mean/median).
Useful for plant-lighting calibration and adjusting lamp height.
Good for relative measurements without needing external instruments.

Cons

Intrusive ads, including full-screen startup ads.
Not working on some devices or on devices without a light sensor.
Not reliable for absolute measurements; mainly suitable for relative comparisons.
