Overview
The LI-210R Photometric Sensor measures light with the same sensitivity as a typical human eye. The photometric sensor is ideal for evaluating illumination in work areas, exhibits, interior lighting, and in public spaces.
Mechanics
The LI-210R measures light with a precision-filtered silicon photodiode that is sensitive to light centered in the visible spectrum. It responds to light with sensitivity that is close to the human eye, as described by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) Standard Observer Curve. Cosine corrected to 82° incident angles for accurate measurements when the light source is not directly overhead.
- Absolute Calibration: ± 5% traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
- Sensitivity: Typically 30 μA per 100 klux
- Linearity: Maximum deviation of 1% up to 100 klux
- Response Time: Less than 1 μs (2 m cable terminated into a 604 Ohm load)
- Temperature Dependence: ± 0.15% per °C maximum
- Cosine Correction: Cosine corrected up to 82° angle of incidence
- Azimuth: < ± 1% error over 360° at 45° elevation
- Tilt: No error induced from orientation
- Detector: High stability silicon photovoltaic detector (blue enhanced)
- Sensor Housing: Weatherproof anodized aluminum housing with acrylic diffuser and stainless steel hardware; O-ring seal on the sensor base
- Size: 2.36 cm Diameter × 3.63 cm (0.93” × 1.43”)
- Weight: 24 g head; 60 g base/cable (2 m) with screws
- Cable Length: 2 m, 5 m, 15 m, 50 m (6.5’, 16.4’, 49.2’, 164’)

With A Modular Update, LI-COR Terrestrial Light Sensors Shine
For environmental professionals looking to measure light, the sun’s energy or photosynthetically active radiation, there is no better choice than LI-COR’s all-new line of terrestrial light sensors. The series, including the LI-190R, LI-200R and LI-210R, has been redesigned from the ground up and is more convenient, reliable and durable than ever before. The new design centers on a modular setup that lets users detach the sensor head from the base. This makes it possible to swap out sensor heads for calibration or to measure different light parameters. In addition, it adds to project flexibility, saving users time and money.

Sargassum Surge: How Seaweed is Transforming our Oceans and Coastal Ecosystems
Until recently, Sargassum –a free-floating seaweed–was distributed throughout the Sargasso Sea , the north Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. But in the space of a decade, this seaweed has, as one scientist remarks , “Gone from a nonfactor to the source of a terrible crisis.” Driven by climate change, anomalous North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009-2010 and a glut of anthropogenic pollutants, sargassum has proliferated. Seasonally recurrent mats as deep as 7m now bloom in the “Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt” (GASB), which covers areas of the Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Every year, millions of tons wash up along the shores of more than 30 countries . Dr.

Great Lakes Research Center: Designing Targeted Monitoring Solutions
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world's freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region. Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs and deploys monitoring platforms throughout the Great Lakes. With a background in environmental engineering, Henderson enjoyed the challenge of creating systems and making them work to obtain difficult, remote measurements.
