Dear all, there is currently only one tool which is able to measure the light environment and in the same time is conform with the ISO 3664. It is a spectroradiometer especially developped to do it well. Why? Actually the fact is that the EyeOne Pro only does measure at sampling interval: 3.5nm. It is to far for good results. Instead of this, these tool is able to reproduce and analyze wavelength each +/- 0.5 nm according to the ISO 3664 who needs to be < 1.0 for Mvis and < 1.5 for Muv. Thus, the EyeOne Pro displays results which appear exact but in fact are not. It is called GL optic.
