Product Description

The Apogee Instruments DLI-500 is a professional-grade, handheld meter designed for spot-checking photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), daily light integral (DLI), and photoperiod under any light source. Whether you’re optimizing greenhouse crops, hydroponic systems, or controlled environment agriculture, the DLI-500 delivers accurate, repeatable measurements to help you make informed lighting decisions and maximize plant performance.

Key Features

  • Precision PAR Measurement (400–700 nm): Accurately quantifies photosynthetically active radiation to ensure plants receive optimal light for photosynthesis.

  • DLI and Photoperiod Tracking: Stores total light exposure (mol·m⁻²·d⁻¹) and photoperiod duration for up to 99 days of logged data.

  • Live and Stored Data Modes: Switch between real-time PPFD readings and stored DLI/photoperiod data for full light profiling.

  • Research-Grade Accuracy: Uses the same full-spectrum photodetector as Apogee’s MQ-500 meter, with less than 2% drift per year for long-term stability.

  • Rugged and Reliable: IP65-rated enclosure withstands tough field conditions, suitable for spot checks or continuous deployment in greenhouses and growth chambers.

  • Plug-and-Play Data Export: Download data as CSV files via USB-C for quick analysis and reporting.

  • Complete Package: Includes batteries, carrying case, and USB-C cable for hassle-free use right out of the box.

Applications

  • Greenhouse Crop Management: Maintain consistent lighting conditions for flowers, vegetables, and ornamentals.

  • Hydroponics & Vertical Farming: Optimize artificial lighting for energy efficiency and improved yields.

  • Plant Research & Growth Chambers: Ensure precise light control for reproducible scientific results.

  • Horticulture & Commercial Nurseries: Evaluate supplemental lighting to maximize plant quality and uniformity.
