SP-LITE-L

Kipp & Zonen Silicon Pyranometer

Retired Product
(not available for purchase)
The SP-LITE is a rugged pyranometer manufactured by Kipp & Zonen. It measures incoming global solar irradiance using a silicon photovoltaic detector mounted in a cosine-corrected diffuser. The diffuser houses a shunt resistor that converts the signal from µA to mV allowing the SP-LITE to be measured directly by a Campbell Scientific datalogger. The SP-LITE is calibrated for the daylight spectral range of 400 to 1100 nm and therefore should not be used under vegetation or artificial lights.
