PAR reading

[SommerVirelli]

Anyone know of any good programs, apps, or tools that can be used to help map out PAR readings for PPFD? I see all these reading from companies so I figure there’s gotta be something out there.

You need a Goniometer test done and then you can use DIALUX to map.
What light are you thinking of using?

I’m building the HLG-550 essentially. I’ve seen the PAR charts. A little weak towards the outside, so I would like to supplement to raise PPFD on the edges to even it out. I might not even have a need for a meter after realizing how expensive they are but I’m still interested in the idea.

If you download dialux I can give you ies files to add strips to the build, I have some of the cutter strips and bridgelux vesta strips. HLG won't sent me thier boards to get the ies for them, I don't think they like the idea of easy par maps
