Light Sensor

Love this app. It helps me find perfect place for my indoor plants.

light weight light sensor... thanks

Does not work as usual for these apps.

Thanks. One complaint though is the font size. My system uses the largest font settings, and the luminosity value text is large. Sometimes it is wordwrapped thus moving the controls and gets back. For example 1000.11 may be wordwrapped and 999.9 may not be, resulting in an ever-moving UI layout. This could be fixed by making it shorter by removing lx, which we already know, or by making it always fit in one line (resizing font).

I don't need an all singing all dancing photography light meter, I just want a simple light meter that tells me the light output from a given source. This app is perfect for checking aquarium light levels. And it gives lux and foot candles on the same screen. Super app

Still don't understand why such a simple app may need full network access? --- That's the point! The second sentence is not to you, but to authors of thousand "luxometer" programs with excessive permissions. I respect you for not being like them. Sorry for misunderstanding.

I first encountered an app that utilizes light sensors this way on my first phone, a Nokia N900. It was a good and very simple one. Yours reminded me of that other app, and also packs the timer feature, which makes yours actually better. Thanks for the effort!

I don't know why I need a light sensor on my phone but I got one.

Really cool & simple app to use, don't know how precise it is but does the job! IF ONLY it had a save/history option I could compare my bulbs from room to room.... otherwise 5 Stars

The app is simple and easy but it would be nice if there was a built in conversion calculator to determine candela. Would be a simple but useful function to integrate.

Works fine but it would be more useful it it didn't top out well before ratings of 1000 watt lights.

Is simple to use, No a lot of info this isn't necessarily. Thanks. The good thinks didn't need to much sophistication.

But what i acctualy was looking for is an app which can determine the existing light in my volume then to turn on/off my phone as per certain setup.

The app present readings clearly, in a large font, on top of which there are no ads and no required permissions. Just what I was looking for!

No unneeded permissions. And does exactly what it says. Wish there were options to mute the audio for the 5 sec count, maybe a visual countdown instead. Other than that it's exactly what I was looking for.

Easy to uses O did not check accuracy by an other professional instrument. ...

In photography a non-metric unit of illuminance, the foot-candle is offten used. Foot-candle is defined the amount of illumination the inside surfance of a 1-foot radius sphere would be receiving if there were a uniform point source of one candela in exact center of the illuminance on a 1-square foot surface of which there is a uniformly distributed flux of one lumen. In other words, it's the ammount of light that actually falls on a given surfance. The foot-candle is = to one lumen per square foot.

No problems, and there is a calibration option in case something of wrong.

Simple application. No ads and fancy stuff. Does it what it says. 1 query : the message "sensors is blocked" is developed based on ambient sensor or proximity sensor ?

Really simple and great app, I am new to android programming but this app has inspired me to try to make an app that will use the light sensor!

No superfluous permissions, it just works. :) (Of course, it's up to the user to calibrate it to his/her phone before relying on it.)

Displays realtime information from the light sensor. Good stuff!

Thanks

Great app and fairly accurate as well. Easy to install with no hassle whatsoever !

An option to mute the sound would be great.

Seems to work better than some of the other light meter apps. Easy to understand.

Comprehensive Does what it claims, no adds. Neat and targeted. Does not ask any permissions. Excellent.

i dont understand how to mesure a bulb light, i bought a led light bulb and it said it has 1200 LM (lumens) so in the description of this software it said flux then lux, is a typo? ls it lumens? how far from the light bulb should i put the phone to mesure the light?

But required hardware is not there in my phone
