Abstract

This paper discusses a light intensity test on a 6500K, Cool Daylight type, 9W E27 Light-Emitting Diodes (LED), that does not have any Internet of Things (IoT) features or additional sensors, using an Arduino GY-302 BH1750 sensor and two lux meters. Research was conducted in several steps on 35 lamps to observe and identify an interesting phenomenon related to the quality of light produced by these lamps. Experiment shows that a lamp with a high light flux does not necessarily produce high light intensity. This study also demonstrates that a diffusing globe on the lux meter makes the reading results different.
