Oak USB Sensor Luminosity (LUX) (V1.2a)

Illuminance Sensor

Oak Lux is a USB attached sensor featuring a light-to-digital converter that transform light intensity to a digital signal. The device combines two different photodiode on a single CMOS integrated circuit capable of providing a near-photopic response over an effective 20-bit dynamic range (16- bit resolution). The irradiance measured is transformed into an illuminance (ambient light level) in lux using an empirical formula to approximate the human eye response.

The Oak Lux can be integrated in a custom application very easily. The operating power as well as real time sensor data and uncritical sensor configuration data are all transferred through a simple USB cable. The very low power consumption, including automatic entering into sleep mode, allows to use the device not only in fixed installations, but also in mobile applications.
