MAVOLUX COMPACT
Perfect Illumination for Breathtaking Photos
The MAVOLUX COMPACT precision luxmeter has evolved through collaboration with leading cinematographers and lighting technicians of Germany’s public television broadcasters. One-hand operation provides leeway for simultaneous operation of communication devices and remote controls. The swiveling sensor permits adjustment to individual working conditions and the display can be read in the dark thanks to illumination in the HOLD function. With its carrying strap, the meter hangs securely around the operator’s neck and the included neoprene case offers protection during transport.
The MAVOLUX COMPACT can of course also be used in industrial settings for planning, installing, inspecting and monitoring lighting systems, as well as for the assurance of compliance with specified lighting conditions.
MAVOLUX COMPACT
Specifications
MAXIMUM RELIABILITY
Classified measurement of illuminance in lx or fc in accordance with class C per DIN 5032-7, appendix B of IEC 13032-1 and CIE 69.
PRECISE MEASURED VALUES
Accuracy amounts to + 3% + 1 digit of the display value.
NON-VOLATILE MEMORY
100 measured values can be saved and retrieved.
BROAD MEASURING RANGE
High initial sensitivity and a resolution of 0.1 lx or 0.01 fc, right on up to large illuminance values of 199,900 lx or 19,990 fc.
CALIBRATION CAPABILITY
As an option, the accredited GOSSEN Light Lab can issue a factory or a DAkkS calibration certificate for measuring equipment monitoring in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001.
CONVENIENT EVERYDAY USE
Simple one-hand operation, easy to read display with backlight in HOLD mode, swivel-head, compact design.
V(λ) MATCHING
The spectral sensitivity of the silicon photodiode is color corrected and corresponds to the spectral brightness sensitivity of the human eye V(λ).
COSINE CORRECTION
The luminosity of a flat measuring surface is proportional to the cosine of the incident angle of light. This relationship is taken into consideration by the receiver during evaluation.
