What do you use a PAR meter for?
PAR meters are used to measure the amount of photosynthetically active radiation available to plants. In horticulture, they help optimise supplemental lighting, evaluate greenhouse conditions and improve crop performance. In research environments, PAR measurements provide valuable data for plant growth studies and lighting experiments. Portable measurements allow you to verify light conditions quickly and make adjustments whenever necessary.
Features of portable PAR meters
Our portable PAR meters are designed for reliable and repeatable measurements. Many models feature high-quality quantum sensors, fast response times and clear displays for easy reading of measurement values. Depending on the model, they offer data logging capabilities and compatibility with different growing environments. Their compact and robust design makes them suitable for routine greenhouse measurements and field applications.
Tips when buying a PAR meter
- Choose a measurement range that matches your growing or research application.
- Pay attention to sensor accuracy and cosine correction.
- Consider data logging functionality for long-term monitoring.
- Check response time for fast and reliable measurements.
- Consider portability and durability for greenhouse and outdoor use.
