About this app

Measure how bright your space really is. Lux Meter turns your phone's ambient light sensor into a simple, accurate light meter that reads in lux (lx) and foot-candles (fc).
Point the top of your phone at the light, or lay it flat on your desk, and get a live reading with minimum, average and maximum values plus a 15-second graph.

▪️ LIVE LIGHT METER
• Smooth, stable readings in lux or foot-candles
• Min, average and max with session timer

▪️ SAVE & EXPORT READINGS

• Review past readings in History
• Export all readings to CSV for Excel or Google Sheets

▪️ CALIBRATE AGAINST A PRO METER
Phone sensors vary between models. Enter a reading from a reference lux meter and the app adjusts every measurement to match. Fine-tune or reset anytime.
