The SeeBrite™ Illumination Intensity Meter
is a purpose designed underwater light meter far more advanced than the common photographers
light meter adapted for underwater use. I.A.S. Products Ltd has developed a light meter that
enhances the technology of underwater light measurement by utilizing a light sensor shrouded
in a spherical dome. Unlike a photographers light meter that just senses light from a single
light source, the SeeBrite™ Illumination Intensity Meter gathers
light from nearly the complete illumination sphere. The dome corrects for intensity differences
due to the angle of incidence and provides meaningful observation of all light contributing to the fish's habitat.
Rapid advances in underwater lighting technology challenges today's farm operators to
understand how best to match lighting to their hatchery and farm environments.
Unique site layouts and environmental conditions require specific knowledge of how
best to determine the most appropriate lumens output for the site application, the
number of light fixtures, the uniformity of light, and thus light fixture positioning.
Once lighting has been installed understanding the optimal duration at lights should be
illuminated and the effects of differing natural light levels from direct sunlight to full
cloud cover can also be monitored. And most importantly a continued monitoring
schedule for light lumen depreciation can be carried out to insure maximum lighting effectiveness.
Building this knowledge base is the focus of the
SeeBrite™ Illumination Intensity Meter with its unique list of features.
