(Advanced) Sensor
We produce 2 different
Light Sensors
-
Light - Advanced
(shown right)-
which has 2 ranges, fast and slow, is described below.
-
Light - General
Purpose - Described HERE .
Our light sensors use a logarithmic response to measure accurately from very low light levels (less than 1 lux) to full sunlight.

-
"Fast"
light sensor range, for physics investigations. This range has rapid response time, suitable for measuring e.g.
fluctuations in light output from a mains-powered lamp. Maximum
recording frequency with Datadisc is 50 microseconds.
-
"Slow"
light sensor range, for general use. This range has a slow response to light changes which makes it ideal for measuring ambient light levels without interference from the flicker of mains powered
lamp, suitable for
measuring changes in turbidity of a
yeast culture, for example. Maximum recording frequency with
Datadisc is 1 second
