DESCRIPTION

General Tools DLM1337 Digital Light Meter with Remote Light Sensor

A professional digital illuminance meter designed to measure indoor and outdoor light levels in both lux and foot-candles (FC).

The DLM1337 features a large 3½-digit LCD display, four measurement ranges, and a separate remote photo detector connected by a coiled cable. Its compact design makes it useful for lighting assessments, photography, commercial applications, and general illumination testing.

TESTING AND CONDITION

The meter was powered on and basic functions were tested.

• Powers on and displays numerical readings.

• Remote light sensor responds to changes in light intensity.

• Readings increased when the sensor was moved closer to a ceiling light.

• Covering and uncovering the sensor produced changes in the displayed readings.

• Range/unit selection was explored; lux/Klux and Kfc indications appeared on the display.

• Accuracy and calibration have not been verified.

Please note: This instrument has demonstrated basic operation, but consistent measurement accuracy has not been established. It is being sold with this testing limitation disclosed.
