GE8809A-00 Digital Lux Meter with Data Logging for Environmental and Workplace Lighting Analysis

This light meter datalogger GE8809A-00 provides accurate display light levels in terms of Foot Candles (FC) or LUX over a wide range

To view the illuminance value on the LCD screen, simply rotate the Function Switch to select the "lux" scale, change the range to your desired setting, and then place the photodetector horizontally toward the light source. Replace the photodetector from the light source after the measurement is finished.

Here are 3 suggested Q&A-style questions you could use for the light meter datalogger GE8809A-00:

1. What is the measurement range and accuracy of the GE8809A-00 light meter datalogger?

2. Answer: It can measure light intensity up to 400,000 lux (or up to 40,000 foot-candles) with an accuracy of approximately ±3 % of reading ±5 % full scale for values under 10,000 lux and ±4 % of reading ±10 digits above that range.

3. How does the GE8809A-00 record and output light level data?

   Answer: The unit has data logging capability with an internal memory (stores up to 99 readings) and a USB interface for connecting to a computer to download logged measurements.

4. What features help with reading light levels on the GE8809A-00?

    

   Answer: It includes features such as auto-ranging, a 4000-count LCD display with a 41-segment analog bargraph, peak/relative mode, max/data hold, and selectable measurement units (lux or foot-candles).

Environmental monitoring where illuminance data is critical

Facilities often integrate complementary measurement solutions such as the Sound Level Meter Datalogger, which provides robust acoustic level recording for compliance and quality assessments across production and facility environments. For applications that require combined thermal and light exposure profiling, the Infrared Temperature Data Logger TR‑55i‑Pt delivers precision temperature logging alongside optical sensing, enabling detailed analysis of thermal conditions alongside light intensity. In laboratory and industrial research settings where multi‑parameter environmental data enhances process optimization and documentation, the Tramex Feedback Data Logging Thermometer‑Hygrometer offers extensive logging capabilities for temperature and relative humidity, augmenting light measurement regimes with critical atmospheric context.
