4. What is the difference of the test results between the LS126C UV light meter and the UV intensity indicator card?
The ultraviolet intensity indicator card is irradiated with the ultraviolet germicidal lamp for 1 minute. The color of the ultraviolet light sensitive color block is compared with the standard color block to determine the irradiation intensity of the light tube. The color contrast varies from person to person, especially in the case where the color of the photosensitive color block is not much different from that of the standard color block. Whether the intensity of the ultraviolet lamp is up to standard can only be qualitative, which is very difficult to quantitatively confirm.
