That's incredibly low :/ what is the lux reading directly under the light?

It is 20 000 lx at 10'' and sees 80 000 90 000 at closest.

And i read that luxmeters does not work properly for leds.

I run way higher than that, I usually am a minimum of 17000 and way higher than that too.

I use also to be fair and for reading Kelvin, you need to go over that 20000 lux and more close to 35000 or 50000 if you can without burning or hurting anything, but increase in steps if you do , take the time and observe your ladies

I use a standalone device not the app, FYI.

[CrazyDutch]

normally it's used for and to be honest I don't use it so much only if I wanna measure Kelvin because I have to close that app manual and have commercials

[CrazyDutch]

way to less dude

What do you suggest me to do?

 

[CrazyDutch]

I can only say increase without burning them , if your light has lenses be really careful, I personally take lenses of , also because what people don't wanna accept is the fact you loose light with going trough lens like behind a glass loosing light or ?

I ll remove the transparent plastic cover tomorrow

 

[CrazyDutch]

I'm afraid you have to dig deeper, your lenses are directly over the individual leds I see...

 

[CrazyDutch]

Google short how leds uncovered look and you will understand what I mean ,

found this one in my gallery, those yellow squares are for example leds uncovered
