Question on Lux meter

Indoor Growing Lighting

I recently purchased a Dr meter lux meter and i can’t really figure out how to properly use it. Model #lx133ob. Can anyone please give me some guidance? I’m trying to figure out how DLI can be calculated from it. @dbrn32 @Myfriendis410 @Newt @Covertgrower @Borderryan22 Thanks in advance

{isplaystyle {ext{DLI}}({ext{mol}}/({ext{m}}^{2}dot {ext{day}})=3.6dot 10^{-3}dot {ext{PPFD}}(u {ext{mol}}/({ext{m}}^{2}dot {ext{s}}))dot {ext{Light-hours}}/{ext{day}}}

Or use a calculator:

You should be able to google a conversion from lux to ppfd if you know cct of your light. Then you can plug ppfd into dli calculator.

Check out an app called tent buddy. I like it better than photone app.
