Sekonic Illuminometer i-346 Measures Lux and Foot-candles

As the name suggests, the new Sekonic Illuminometer i-346 is not your typical light meter. Unlike traditional light meters, which with few exceptions are primarily designed to interpret light values in terms of f/stops and shutter speeds, the Sekonic i-346 Illuminometer measures light in terms of lux & foot-candles.*

The Sekonic Illuminometer i-346 is designed for measuring illumination levels in workplaces, construction zones, gallery and museum spaces, theatrical environments and other situations where there's a need for critical incremental light measurements. Reflected or incident light readings can be displayed on the meter's large LCD in the form of foot-candles (fc) or Lux (lx), depending on one's needs and can be recorded as single readings, continuous readings, as well as in delayed reading (up to 60 seconds) for times the operator has to be out of measuring range of the meter.

The Sekonic Illuminometer i-346 is a compact 2.3"W x 4.3"H x .87"D (63 x 110 x 22mm), light (3.35 oz. or 95g including battery), has a temperature operating range of 32° to 104°F (0°C ~ 40°C), and can power from a single AA battery for up to 20 hours. A manganese AA battery and soft case are included.

* A foot-candle is a universal unit of measurement equal to 1 lumen per-square-foot (lmft2). Lux is an international metric unit of luminance equal to 1 lumen per-square-meter (lm/m2).
