Light meters/sensor

[josborne]

Anybody out there have any reccomendations for a good light meter that has analog output port (so I can plug it into my DAQ board)?

I have seen these two options:

But this one has a very short sensor cable.  I am measuring light inside a hospital infant incubator.  So I just want to place the sensor inside the incubator.  And leave the meter outside the incubator.  And then feed the signal into my DAQ box.

I could conceivable place this entire unit inside the incubator.  But it doesn't have a digital display, which is really nice to have.  Partryl for convenience, but also so I can compare with the values I am reading from my DAQ box.

What kind of light measurement are you looking for?

Lux

W/m squared

Intensity

wavelength

We are looking for simple illuminance measure:    in Lux or Fc.
