The itc PARwise is a unique light meter capable of measuring the light spectrum in aquariums as well as in other applications. It can be used inside the aquarium (submerged) and in the air. It provides you with all the relevant lighting measurements required to make informed decisions to provide the right lighting for the living organisms you are hosting.

What the itc PARwise measures:

• PAR (PPFD – Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density µMol/m2/s)
• Kelvin (Color temperature)
• LUX
• Spectrum
• DLI (Daily Light Integral)
• Peak Wavelength
• Hue (as color)

Instructions for use:

• Follow the installation and connection instructions to put the itc PARwise into operation.
• Connect the PARwise to your mobile device or laptop/tablet and enter the online web application.
• Place the sensor in the aquarium at different points and levels next to the photosynthetic organism, (coral or plant), to take a measurement.
• Use the pause button on the screen to record the reading at this position and compare your spectrum to a known spectral response curve or another light setting you want to replicate or tune to.
• Take note of the numbers and position, and then you can create a picture for your lighting settings.
