Detailed explanation-1: -Lighting professionals use a light meter (also called an illuminance meter or lux meter) to measure the amount of light in a space/on a particular work surface. The light meter has a sensor that measures the light falling on it and provides the user with a measurable illuminance reading.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lux is a standardised unit of measurement of light level intensity, which is commonly referred to as “illuminance” or “illumination". So what is exactly 1 lux? A measurement of 1 lux is equal to the illumination of a one metre square surface that is one metre away from a single candle.
Detailed explanation-3: -One lux (Latin for “light”) is the amount of illumination provided when one lumen is evenly distributed over an area of one square metre. This is also equivalent to the illumination that would exist on a surface all points of which are one metre from a point source of one international candle (candela).
