Abstract

The objective of this work is the design and development of a module to measure indoor lighting, using low-cost material and maintaining similar or improved characteristics to those that would be obtained with a commercial lux meter. Using reverse technology analysis, lighting measurement was improved since the module has the capacity to capture data on brightness levels and store them in an internal memory for later use, which allows them to provide a usage profile and be used in the luminaire selection study. The interface displays lighting graphs with respect to time, has the function for calculating the maximum average uniformity ratio (IC) based on NOM-025-STPS-2008, the data adquisition function and the selection of the work area, in addition to the height at which the luminaires are located, so the data acquired by the Arduino HB1750 sensor can be managed in a user-friendly way. The module has the advantage of being affordable, as all its components are inexpensive. This system can be easily reproduced and used for educational purposes in educational institutions.
