Overview
Light Energy Meter APM130 for PAR and PPFD Measurement
The Light Energy Meter APM130 is a professional quantum PAR meter designed to measure photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in the wavelength range of 400 to 700 nm. This range is closely related to the light absorbed by plants during photosynthesis, making the APM130 an ideal light measurement tool for horticultural studies, plant growth research, greenhouse management, and plant physiology monitoring.
The APM130 PAR meter measures PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) with a wide measurement range of 0–3999 μmol/m²/sec. It helps users evaluate plant lighting conditions, optimize grow light placement, monitor greenhouse light levels, and support scientific plant cultivation.
With a compact main unit and separate sensor unit, the Light Energy Meter APM130 is convenient for laboratory, greenhouse, indoor farming, and field use. It provides reliable repeatability, clear display resolution, and simple battery-powered operation, making it suitable for researchers, growers, horticulture technicians, and plant lighting professionals.
