The GOSSEN digital precision luxmeters are classified according to DIN 5032-7 in Class C or B and EN 13032-1, Appendix B. Wide range of applications: for lighting engineers and specifiers, for the control of light sources, street lights, lighting of work places, public buildings, sport facilities, for quality control and quality assurance in the manufacture of lamps and light sources, for light designers and architects, for light measurements in agriculture, gardening and forestry.

Both MAVOLUX types are optimally suited for measuring very high light intensities (brightest daylight, head lights) without any additional accessories. Especially the MAVOLUX 5032 B USB having an initial sensitivity of 0.01 lx also allows measuring extremely low light intensities, such as emergency lighting. Most important: Due to its high precision acc. to Class B, the MAVOLUX 5032 B USB has been approved for certification and official inspection procedures.

When attaching the Luminance Attachment to the measuring probe of the MAVOLUX 5032 C or B USB, they can be used also for measuring the luminance; the measuring angle being approx. 20°. Luminance is the reflected light effect of self luminous or reflecting surfaces. The measuring unit is candela per square meter (cd/m²) or foot Lambert (fL).
