light meters
Photography brightness sensors
Light meters are instruments that measure the intensity of light, used primarily in photography and cinematography to determine proper exposure settings.
A photographer checks the light meter before adjusting aperture and shutter speed.
Modern cameras have built-in light meters, though professionals often carry handheld meters for more precise readings.
Light meters also appear in other contexts—measuring workplace illumination or plant growing conditions.
