Calculate PAR With A Cheap LUX Meter Easily | LUX vs PAR Meter Part 2

Thanks to andrewbee82 for inspiring this video. I had never tried this before because I have jumped right into using PAR meters due to the dependability and accuracy I needed to make my tests for my channel, valid.

This is surprisingly accurate and dependable enough for white light sources and once you dial in your lux number you won't even need to use the multiplication factor. You will get know the lux number on the meter.

I cannot speak for other lux meters as the multiplication factor could be a little off if other brands measure lux slightly differently. If you wish to use a lux meter and want to trust its readout using this multiplier, consider purchasing this one using the link below.
