Test PAR | PPFD accurate, suitable for any spectrum. Can display the PAR of red and blue light in the light separately. Blue light is efficiently absorbed by plant chlorophyll. Red light promotes the growth of flowers and ripening of fruits.
Simple and safe app for test par. Fast Bluetooth connection.
Easy to transport the PAR meter. The PAR meter can be attached to the drone or toy car to test PPFD anywhere in the greenhouse. The tester does not need to move.
Capture PPFD data at different points methodically by grids and get the PAR Uniformity (Uo). Optimised growth, provides even light for balanced plant growth and higher yield. I Increased efficiency, identifies weak points to adjust light placement and reduce energy consumption. Prevent light problems, avoid damage caused by too much light and growth problems caused by too little light. The data can be downloaded.
Calculate DLI if the PPFD is stable.
