Improve growth and quality of your plants. Shade cloths and hanging baskets reduce plant light more than you know! Position the meters throughout your greenhouse to compare light levels and the effect those changes have on plant quality. You can also use multiple meters simultaneously to compare light levels and the impact on turf health, quality and aesthetics.<\/p>\n<h2>LightScout\u00ae<\/h2>\n<p>DLI 100 Light Meter<br \/>Light is one of the most important factors in plant and turf quality. The best way to quantify light for growing\u00a0 plants is to measure photo-synthetically active radiation (PAR) light between 400 and 700 &#8211; the range that promotes<br \/>photosynthesis. The daily light integral (DLI) measures the total amount of PAR within a 24-hour period.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Affordable &amp; simple, one button operation<\/li>\n<li>Meter runs for 24 hours to calculate DLI<\/li>\n<li>Real-time intensity levels are shown in \u03bcmol\u00b7m-2\u00b7s-1 every 4 seconds over the course of a day<\/li>\n<li>Battery included<\/li>\n<li>Greenhouse &amp; Turf models available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3405G3\u00a0 \u00a0LightScout\u00ae DLI 100 Meter &#8211; Greenhouse (set of 3)<br \/>3405G\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0LightScout DLI 100 Meter &#8211; Greenhouse (1 unit)<br \/>3405T3\u00a0 \u00a0LightScout\u00ae DLI 100 Meter &#8211; Turf (set of 3)<br \/>3405T\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0LightScout DLI 100 Meter &#8211; Turf (1 unit)<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.watermonitoringcontrol.com.au\/systems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/lightscout-DLI-100-light-meter.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.9&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.9&#8243; text_font=&#8221;ABeeZee||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#242424&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;27px|25px|28px|25px|false|false&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#8300E9&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeasuring DLI inside the greenhouse can be very revealing, since growers usually rely on their eyes to determine the light levels and the human eye is a terrible light sensor because it is so effective at adjusting to different light environments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; James E.
