Why Use a Quantum PAR Meter?
Many growers underestimate the importance of accurate light measurement, leading to inefficiencies, reduced yields, and wasted energy. The PHOTOBIO Advanced Quantum PAR Meter eliminates guesswork, allowing you to:
- Dial in the perfect lighting levels for seedlings, veg, and bloom stages.
- Avoid photobleaching or under-lighting by maintaining the right PPFD levels.
- Fine-tune light placement and intensity for maximum canopy penetration.
- Optimise energy efficiency, reducing wasted power while maintaining top-tier plant health.

How To Use
The PHOTOBIO Advanced Quantum PAR Meter is designed to help growers accurately measure light intensity in their grow space. Follow these steps to ensure optimal use and precise readings.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Power On the Device:
- Ensure the battery is installed and press the power button to turn on the meter.
- Check the digital LCD display to confirm it is functioning correctly.
- Select Your Measurement Area:
- Hold the meter at the canopy level of your plants to measure the light intensity they receive.
- For even distribution, take multiple readings across different areas of the grow space.
- Adjust Your Lighting Accordingly:
- Compare your readings to the optimal PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) levels for your plants' growth stage.
- If readings are too low, consider lowering your light or increasing intensity.
- If readings are too high, adjust light height or dim output to prevent photobleaching.
- Check Light Spectrum Compatibility:
- The meter is compatible with Full-Spectrum LED, HPS, MH, CMH, and sunlight.
- Ensure you are measuring under the correct spectrum for your specific grow light type.
- Monitor Environmental Conditions:
- Use the meter in different parts of the grow room to check for variations in light intensity.
- Ensure the environment is stable, with consistent humidity and airflow.
- Turn Off and Store Safely:
- After taking your readings, power off the meter to conserve battery life.
- Store it in a dry, safe place away from direct exposure to extreme temperatures.
Using the PHOTOBIO Advanced Quantum PAR Meter regularly will help ensure your plants receive the perfect amount of light at every stage of growth, leading to better yields and improved efficiency in your grow space.
