LYNX3
LYNX3 is a tiny but robust light meter. Capable of reading photometrics, PPFD, calcluatinging the DLI, and relaying this date through wireless communications to the SmarTune.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use a light meter for LED grow lights?
A light meter for LED grow lights allows you to accurately measure light intensity at the plant canopy level. Unlike standard lux meters, specialized meters like the Lynx³ are calibrated for horticultural wavelengths, providing precise data to optimize light placement and intensity for better plant growth.
What makes the Lynx³ different from other grow light meters?
The Lynx³ (Lynx Cube) grow light meter delivers real-time PPFD readings with exceptional accuracy, helping growers fine-tune light levels for optimal plant performance. Designed for professional horticulture, it offers reliable, easy-to-use precision that far surpasses basic light meters.
Can I use the Lynx³ in a greenhouse setting?
Absolutely. The Lynx³ is an ideal greenhouse light meter, capable of monitoring both natural and supplemental lighting sources. It helps growers maintain consistent light levels across seasons and ensures crops receive the proper photon exposure regardless of weather changes.
How accurate is the Lynx3 LED grow light meter?
The Lynx³ LED grow light meter delivers highly accurate PPFD readings, tested against lab-grade spectroradiometers. Its advanced sensor technology is optimized for horticultural spectrums, making it a reliable tool for both commercial and research applications.
Why do I need a PPFD light meter instead of a lux meter?
Lux meters measure brightness as perceived by the human eye, which doesn't align with how plants respond to light. A PPFD light meter measures PAR in micromoles (µmols), giving a plant-specific understanding of light intensity that’s essential for proper growth and yield optimization.
Is the Lynx³ grow light meter compatible with different light sources?
Yes, the Lynx³ is compatible with all major grow light technologies including LED, HPS, CMH, and natural sunlight. Whether you're running a full-spectrum LED setup or supplementing daylight in a greenhouse, the Lynx³ provides consistent, accurate measurements.
How do I use the Lynx³ to measure light in my grow space?
Using the Lynx³ PPFD meter is effortless—simply turn it on and place it at canopy level. After you press start it will instantly measures light intensity continually, allowing you to fine-tune your lighting layout for even coverage and optimal plant growth.
