Lux Meter to measure the light intensity

By controlling the lumens, you’ll know the amount of light you’re providing your plants with. You’ll also know if your lamps are living their last days, something difficult to see with the naked eye. If you check your new bulbs when you buy them, you’ll know when they’ve lost too much power, or at what height you should place them to supply enough light.

It has a button to measure figures of 10, 100 and 1000 since the screen has only 3 digits. It only measures up to 50,000. Plants need 45,000 to bloom, so if the meter measures the maximum, they’re still receiving enough light.

If you have to bring the lamp too close and the temperature doesn’t allow to provide the necessary lumens, you have to replace the lamp with a new one.

Growbarato.net recommends keeping the used bulbs as a last resort just in case you have lighting problems on a Sunday and our grow shops are closed. If that happens, you’d have to wait until the next Monday to visit us. This way, you can use the old one just for a day, preventing your plants from elongating because of the lack of light.
