LED Light Flicker Meter
Have you experienced eye strain, headache, migraine or other symptoms from exposure to flickering lights or screens?
Use this app to measure flicker levels and identify flicker-free lights and screens!
This app measures flickering of light that flicker/blink too quickly for the human eye to perceive. Despite being invisible, such flickering can cause eye strain, headaches, migraines and even epilepsy seizures. This is also a known problem for birds and chickens living indoors under artificial lights, where imperceptible flicker affects their behavior and well-being.
Use this app to measure if your LED lamps, bulbs, fluorescent tube lights and screens are flickering and how much.
The app not only measures flickering percentage, but also allows you to measure flicker frequency in Hz.
Key Features
- Measures flickering percentage (0-100%)
- Measures flicker frequency in Hz
- Detects invisible high-frequency flickering that's too fast for the human eye to perceive
- Works with LED lamps, bulbs, fluorescent tube lights, and all types of screens (computer monitors, TVs, smartphones, tablets)
- Real-time continuous measurement for instant results
- Simple point-and-measure operation
- Save measurements with comments for later comparison
- Accuracy within ±5 percentage points under normal conditions
Light Spectrometer - Dominant Wavelength Meter
Measure the dominant wavelength of colored light sources with your smartphone - perfect for education, LED testing, and research
