3. Preface
The flux of light received in a unit area of a
certain side being shown is popularly known as
illumination. The measuring unit in both United
Kingdom and America is known as footcandles
light, but in Europe it is also known as meter
candlelight.
One foot-candles light is the illumination of light
that falls on one side which is one foot away from
a one foot-candlelight and exactly intersecting
with the light. Its abbreviated form is written as 1
Fc=1 Lm/ft, similarly, one-meter candlelight is the
illumination of light that falls on a side which is
one meter away from a one meter candlelight and
exactly intersecting the light. It is also called Lux
i,e. the flux of light being received in each sq.
meter is called the illumination of one lumen.
1 FC=10.764 LUX, 1 LUX=0.09290 FC,

9Attention
Set for referring the testing of source of light
is located at the right top end (0 degree) of
the light sensor ball plane.
When the meter is not in use, please keep
the cap of the light sensor in its place to
avoid the photo diode from wearing out.
When it is not in use for a long time, please
take the batteries away. And avoid keeping
it in a place of high temperature and
humidity.
