The Light101A is a compact, light data logger equipped with a built-in light sensor that monitors and records the occurrence and duration of light exposure.
With a user-programmable reading rate of up to 1 reading per second, a 3-year battery life, and the ability to store over 400,000 readings, the Light101A is perfectly suited for long-term monitoring. This self-contained device does not require connection to a relay or switch, making it easy to deploy and retrieve without disrupting its setup.
The Light101A is fully compatible with the latest MadgeTech 4 Software, which simplifies starting, stopping, and downloading data. The software provides graphical, tabular, and summary data for detailed analysis and can display results in customizable engineering units.
Features
Applications
The Light101A data logger is equipped with an integrated light sensor designed to monitor and record the occurrence and duration of light availability, capturing detailed photoperiod data. This standalone unit simplifies deployment and data gathering by autonomously detecting light changes without the need for external connections to switches or relays.
This data logger is particularly useful in a variety of industries and applications, such as agricultural studies for optimizing plant growth cycles and environmental monitoring to study the effects of natural light on ecosystems. The Light101A also excels in building management, helping to analyze and enhance energy efficiency through controlled lighting studies. Additionally, it is valuable in zoological research, where understanding the impact of light on animal behaviors is crucial. This device replaces traditional manual monitoring methods, providing reliable and automatic documentation of light patterns.
