It can be used underwater and has a special mode for us in air. Two light meters in one! It gives you all the relevant lighting measurements required to make informed decisions about your light settings and photoperiod.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.WHAT IT MEASURES – PARwise measures ‘PAR’ (PPFD–PhotosyntheticPhotonFlux Density?Mol\/m2\/S, Kelvin (Colour temperature), LUX, Spectrum, DLI (Daily Light Integral), Peak Wavelength, Hue (as colour)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.HOW IT WORKS – PARwise uses our proprietary, in-house made and designed optical engine, nestled underneath a user replaceable cosine corrector to evenly ‘read’ the spectral content and quantity of light that hits it. We then determine the results on-board within PARwise and send that over USB to your device to display. Our web based app automatically downloads to your device (Windows, macOS, Android) the first time you use it to give you full offline use. We include a free USB-C adaptor to fit into android smart phones, tablets and modern computers(Mac\/PC) who don’t have a full size USB port. Connects to most things but sadly will not connect to an iOS device.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.HOW TO USE – Visit the PARwise website online on a Google Chrome based web browser for the first time then simply place the sensor next to your photosynthetic organism such as a coral or plant to then take a reading. Use the on screen pause button to capture the reading in that position, note it down and reference your spectrum against a known spectral response curve, or other light settings you want to copy or tune to! Use DLI to adjust your day length up or down and to keep putting the same amount of light energy into the system in 24hrs. Finally, you only need to be online once for our handy web-app to download to your chrome based browser and install itself. No app installor user account required.
