Lux Meter for Android

Send me my money back!

I was looking for an app that could help me match lighting sources. When replacing burned out sources, it's important to match the color temp of the replacement with other existing sources. So I downloaded this app in hopes that it would be a handy tool. Not so much. I tested the app with two banks of fluorescent tubes, each was clearly either daylight or a much warmer color. If I could upload a photo, you would easily see the difference. Yet this app rated them at essentially the same degrees Kelvin, 5150 (actual: 7 degrees different). Maybe the eye and camera is very sensitive to color shifts and consequently it's too much to ask of an inexpensive app to resolve the difference. But using this app to chose replacement bulbs in a home or office would give unreliable results in matching sources.

It seems to be accurate in determining white balance settings manually for a DSLR. I like this app a lot.

Its number is different from a Tonda 1010B LUX meter at my hand by about half of the physical LUX meter. I think I just wasted this money.

I have to tell you; this app works just as well as a professional device. For accurate results, check your phone's camera. My professional machine very close to the output value. Definitely recommended.
