The DLI-500 Daily Light Integral and Photoperiod Meter from Apogee Instruments is a professional-grade tool designed to help growers measure and manage plant lighting conditions with precision. Just like the brand’s MQ-200X Quantum Meter and MQ-500 Quantum Meter, the DLI-500 Daily Light Integral and Photoperiod Meter from Apogee Instruments comes equipped with a full-spectrum 400–700 nm sensor, which accurately measures photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), daily light integral (DLI), and photoperiod under all light sources, including LEDs and sunlight. The meter provides both real-time readings and stored data, allowing users to monitor PPFD, track light exposure over time, and download measurements via USB-C for further analysis. With reliable, NIST-traceable calibration and minimal long-term drift, the DLI-500 delivers stable, accurate measurements that help optimize plant growth, improve lighting strategies, and support research-level plant production.
