LUX METER

INTRODUCTION:

The objective of this project is used to measure the light intensity measure used in
photometry technology.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT:

The lux (symbol: lx) is the SI unit of luminance and luminous emittance. It is used
in photometry as a measure of the intensity of light, with wavelengths weighted
according to the luminosity function, a standardized model of human brightness
perception.

Methodology:

The required components are

Microcontroller
ADC
LCD
keypad

EXPLANATION:

1 lx = 1 lmm-2 = 1 cd srm2

A/D converter converts analog signal into corresponding digital signal to the
microcontroller. Microcontroller handles overall function takes place under this device.
Finally, LCD display indicates the corresponding resolution depends on the various
acceleration.
Advantages:

The relevant advantages are

1. good performance
2. high reliability
3. less weight and small size
4. reduced manpower
5. low power consumption
Application:
This project is very useful to measure the light intensity.
