What is Lux
Lux is a standardized unit of measurement used to quantify the intensity of light level. It’s the unit of illuminance. It represents the amount of light that falls on a specific surface area. In simpler terms, lux is a measure of brightness. The more lumens there are in a square meter of a surface, the higher the lux levels will be, indicating a brighter illumination. Conversely, lower lux levels indicate a darker illumination.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Lux Is Considered High Light
A light meter measures levels of illumination, in Lux (Lumens per square metre). Low light is considered to be in the range of 270 to 807 Lux, while medium light falls within the range of 807 to 1614 Lux. High light, on the other hand, is classified as being in the range of 1614 to 10764 Lux.
