Light/Lux sensor options?

[booch]

Hey all, feel like I’ve seen this topic come up before but couldn’t find it via search:

What’s the consensus on the easiest way to get data on outdoor lighting levels into C4 (for the purpose of adjusting/sensitizing my lighting time clock)?

Doesn’t need to be super sophisticated, but some gradation and the ability to have more than one measurement ‘zone’ might be a plus.

TIA!

Hey, I've been looking into this for my greenhouse and there isn't any options for just the light sensor.  BUT the Tempest Weather station does measure light, but its an overkill just for light measuring.  It does measure temp, humidity, wind, rain and its solar powered.  Maybe that might help you, as I plan probably to use this for my greenhouse.

I use the Tempest weather station.  It really is a great piece of equipment.  The HopSoft driver is also cool.

The ambient light reading is a big plus.  I wouldn’t buy it for this, but it is a useful extra!
