When I started using a light meter it sure taught me a lot about different light designs and canopy coverage and light dissapation throughout the different levels of the canopy. With my meter I try to keep the lower canopy at 5 out of 10 at least to ensure the low canopy can grow without stretching or turning lower branches in to suckers. I love them meters , does yours show Lumen or is it simply a intensity meter?

The Light Sensor on the Samsung Galaxy S3 shows the readings in Lux ( 1 Lux=1 Lumen= 1 Candle-Foot /per meter squared) format with a R, G, B, W format also with corresponding levels actively. On the phones all these things that I am talking about are accessed thru the Key Pad of the Phone app.

DIAL *#0*# , ( as soon as you hit the last # sign a menu will open up automatic, it will not place a call, if your phone places a call, then you did it wrong or your phone does not support this feature) and that will open up a screen with a bunch on grey boxes labeled different things. Pick the Sensor box located in the middle.

That opens up a screen with a Accelerometer Sensor, Porximity Sensor, Barometer Sensor, Light sensor, Gyroscope sensor and Magnetic sensor.

All of these show active readings or you can pick the sensor buttons to view a specific sensor reading.
