Light Sensors & Systems
UV sensors
UVA (SKU 420) UVB (SKU 430) UVI (SKU 440) Three sensors designed to measure the UVA (315-400nm) and UVB (280-315nm) parts of sunlight, plus a UVI sensor designed to match the erythema curve. Components used have been selected for their stability in a UV environment. The bandwidth characteristics are tailored to the ISO standard.
Pyranometers (solar radiation)
For measurement of total sunlight and for use in outdoor locations we offer the silicon cell Pyranometer, A very popular and cost effective sensor, which is calibrated against a WMO Secondary Standard Thermopile. Output is proportional to total solar energy in watt.m-2.
PAR Sensors
PAR Quantum PAR ‘Special’ PAR Energy These sensors are traditionally used in plant growth studies. We can offer waterproof models suitable for long term exposure and underwater applications, and splashproof models of the PAR Quantum & PAR Energy suitable for glasshouses, plant growth cabinets, etc. The PAR Quantum is the sensor with the ideal 100% [...]
Lux sensors
The response curve of this sensor matches the CIE Photopic curve (a standard for human eye response to light) and measures in Lux units. This is the preferred sensor for human and animal studies. Skye can offer waterproof versions for outdoor installations with the following outputs: mV, volts, 4-20 mA. or splashproof versions, with the [...]
Light Meter for Growers
Professional, accurate & inexpensive Increase your yield by making regular spot checks on the light levels your plants are receiving – shade or add supplementary lighting as required Check that the light is uniform over the crop Use the system to check on a regular basis the efficiency of your supplementary lighting lamps. Notice how [...]
