Abstract

The article presents spectral sensitivity curves of 22 typical luxmeters and 3 smartphones as a result of laboratory measurements. Based on the measurement data, errors in the spectral correction of the considered instruments and devices were calculated. Due to the fact that the value of the measured illuminance is influenced by the spectral characteristics of the radiation, in order to determine the spectral corrections coefficients, 10 light sources with different spectral distributions of radiation were taken into account. Spectral corrections factors were determined using two methods for all luxmeters and smartphones. This paper presents the relationship between the shape of the spectral sensitivity curves of a given luxmeter and the measured values of f′ 1 errors. Moreover, the limitations related to the use of spectral corrections in environmental measurements with the use of a luxmeter were demonstrated.
