This was an interesting little accessory. I'm curious to see if others follow with similar tools for smartphones, or how many light meter apps will add support for them.

Aug 17, 2014You need a long term test to determine if this App will continue to perform well after your pro-calibration. Some poor equipment require monthly calibrations.

Aug 18, 2014Luxi has actually been releasing updates to this app since we did this test claiming to improve accuracy. I've been meaning to see if it got any better. Next time we take lux measurements during testing we'll snap the Luxi on and check it quickly, but we likely won't do anything more than that.
