The L100 is a highly sensitive light detector. It has two different adapters to measure
the quantities luminance and illuminance. The most common applications for the L100
are luminance (cd/m²) measurements on CRTs (monitors) and viewing boxes, and
illuminance (lx) measurements of ambient light in a room or in front of a CRT. Read the
L100 User's Manual for a detailed description of practical use and explanation of the
theory behind the units and quantities of light.
The monitor adapter is shown to the left and the lux adapter to the right.
