## Description

Lux Meter is a versatile Chrome extension designed to measure light intensity in your environment using your device's Ambient Light Sensor. It provides readings in Lux or Foot Candle (FC), allowing you to compare brightness levels between rooms or areas. The app includes features like a hold function to freeze measurements on screen and a save function to keep records for future reference.

Additionally, the extension offers guides on how to use and calibrate the Lux Meter for improved accuracy, as well as typical lighting values you might encounter in various settings. A unique color customization tool lets you personalize the app’s appearance via hue, saturation, and darkness sliders. While sensor accuracy varies by device, Lux Meter aims to help users make informed decisions about lighting needs in homes, offices, and workshops effectively.
