The Mavolux 5032 B & C are high precision luxmeter’s that are optimally suited for measuring very high light intensities (brightest daylight, head lights, etc.) without any additional accessories. Each has a USB interface for powering the meter, meter control, and data display/storage using GLUX 2 software (included). The Mavolux 5032 C is typically used in general applications and the Mavolux 5032 B has improved low light sensitivity for certification and inspection applications. The MAVOLUX 5032 B has been approved for certification and official inspection procedures.
Functions and Technical Data
Automatic / Manual Measuring Range Selection
