Light Measurement Techniques

Light measurement techniques assess the intensity, brightness, or quality of light using specialized tools called light meters or sensors. These instruments detect visible or other types of electromagnetic radiation, quantifying how much light is present in a given area or scene. They are used in various fields like photography, architecture, and science to ensure proper lighting conditions, optimize visual comfort, or analyze light behavior. The measurements can be expressed in units such as lux or foot-candles, providing objective data to guide lighting design, evaluation, or research.
