New Grower Is there a way to measure output of bulbs?

[supernaan]

Hi there guys. Is there a way to measure how much light/lumens a light gives off? Like a cheap tool or something? Just curious because I want to see how much actual light output there is from my CFL bulb.

You can buy a lumen meter.I will see if I can locate one.

Thanks Namvet. I found one on the UK Amazon for very cheap. Might as well make use of my Prime membership.

There are apps that do an ok job for smart phones or tablet computers. They don't work supper good with LEDS but they'll give you an Idea.

Yeah I found one called Beecam on Android just trying to figure it out.

Light-o-meter seems the easiest to use and they all give the same readings. Good stuff!
