The ETI 1301 is an economical light tester ideal for both the professional and hobbyist. The ETI 1301 allows the user to monitor light intensity and levels in a wide variety of applications. The best way to use a tester is to measure the light levels when installing new lamps or lighting and then measure the light intensity thereafter on a regular basis (monthly or quarterly) until the lamps require replacing.

The ETI 1301 measures both lux or foot-candles over the range of 0 to 50,000 lux/foot candles. The unit is powered by a 12 volt MN21 alkaline battery.

horticultural & hydroponics
The correct level of light is a necessity for plant growth. Sufficient light is needed for photosynthesis to take place so plants can flower or bare fruit. Commercially, it is important to regularly check artificial lighting levels to ensure healthy plant growth. The lack of adequate light is the most common cause for poor plant growth. As artificial lighting will degrade in intensity with time, it is essential to measure at regular intervals.
