Light Meter - Lux Meter - LM37 FAQs
Can the light meter LM37 measure lighting in a chicken shed?
Yes the LM37 light meter can be used to measure lighting in a chicken (poultry) shed
Where else can the LM37 Lux Meter be used?
The LM37 is a standard lux meter, designed to measure illuminance (lux or foot‑candles) in workplaces, industrial buildings, warehouses, and similar environments.
What are the key specification of the LM37 Lux meter
Measuring range: 0.00 to 40,000 lux
Resolution: 0.01 lux
Accuracy: ±3% + 5 digits
Response time: 0.5 seconds
Operating temperature: 0–40 °C
These ranges comfortably cover typical poultry house lighting levels, which are usually very low compared with offices or retail spaces.
How do Poultry lighting levels compare to the LM37 Lux meter capability?
Typical lighting levels in poultry housing (Check with your individual welfare and breed standards):
Broilers: ~5–20 lux
Layers: ~10–30 lux (sometimes lower in resting areas)
Transition / Dim periods: <5 lux
These values are well within the LM37’s low‑range sensitivity, making it perfectly capable of checking whether your shed lighting meets management or welfare targets.
What is the best practice when using the LM37 in a chicken shed?
To get meaningful results with the LM37 Light meter:
Measure at bird eye height, not at ceiling level
Take readings in multiple zones (feeding, resting, nesting areas)
Avoid measuring directly under a lamp — measure average floor illumination
Use the LM37 to track consistency over time, not just absolute numbers
This approach aligns with poultry welfare guidance and research practice.
