Solar Light’s Model PMA1142 Digital Laser Sensor is available in two full scale power levels of 10 watts (Model PMA1142-10,) and 40 watts (Model PMA 1142-40.) PMA1142-10 has an active area of 3.14 cm2, and the PMA1142-40 has an active area of 4.91 cm2.

Solar Light’s NIST-Traceable Model PMA1140 Analog Visible and Infrared global radiometer measures irradiance within the range of 400-1100nm, and is intended primarily for cost-sensitive applications where the flat spectral response of our thermopile-based pyranometers is not required.

Solar Light’s Model PMA1133 Analog Luminance Probe accurately measures luminance according to the CIE photopic luminous efficiency function, which mimics the the human eye’s visual response in the photopic region.

Solar Light’s Model PMA1132 Analog Quantum Light (PAR) Sensor measures the photon flux in wavelength range from 400 to 700 nm. There is a proportional relationship between the number of photons absorbed in 400 to 700 nm band and the rate of photosynthesis in plants.

Solar Light’s Model PMA1131 Analog Scotopic Light Sensor is a portable Lux detector with spectral response following the CIE Scotopic Luminous Efficiency Function (which mimics the human eye’s response in low light conditions).

Solar Light’s Model PMA1130 Analog Photopic Light Sensor is a portable Lux detector with a spectral response following the CIE Photopic Luminous Efficiency Function (which mimics the human eye’s response in the visible region) and following the SI definition of 683 lm/W at 555 nm.

Solar Light’s Model PMA1123 Digital Bilirubin Phototherapy Sensor is an accurate, stable sensor designed to measure the output of phototherapy lamps used in neonatal wards to treat infant hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice.)

Solar Light’s Model PMA1121 Analog Blue Light Safety Sensor indicates the effective irradiance weighted by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Spectral Weighting Function for Blue Light Hazard.

Solar Lights Model PMA1120 Analog UV Radiation Safety Sensor indicates how long a worker may remain at the measured position before reaching the threshold limit value (TLV) proposed by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) published guidelines.

Solar Light’s Model PMA1122 Analog Germicidal UVC Sensor provides fast and accurate irradiance measurements of the effective germicidal radiation.

Solar Lights Model PMA1107 Analog Non-Weighted UVA+B Sensor provides an accurate measurement of non-weighted UVA+B ultraviolet radiation from sunlight or artificial light sources. The detector has angular response very close to an ideal cosine function (Lambertian response,) making it suitable for measurements of diffuse radiation or radiation generated by extended sources. Several packages are available for different types of environments, including standard, low profile, weatherproof, and waterproof.

Solar Light’s Model PMA1106 Analog Non-Weighted UVB Sensor provides an accurate measurement of UVB ultraviolet radiation from sunlight or artificial light sources.

Solar Light’s Model PMA1101 Analog Biologically-Weighted Erythema UVB Sensor provides an accurate measurement of SUV radiation (also known as “sunburning UV”) from sunlight or artificial light sources.

Solar Light’s Model PMA1112 Analog High Intensity UVA Probe is a useful tool for UV curing applications. It measures UVA radiation in the range from 320-400nm (with peak sensitivity at the 365nm mercury emission line) via a diffuser mounted at the end of its 18″ (45.7 cm) probe. The light is delivered to the sensor through a quartz light guide encapsulated in a metal envelope inside the probe, making it suitable for high temperature applications up to 400°C.

Solar Light’s Model PMA1110 Analog UVA sensor provides fast and accurate irradiance measurement in the UVA region, with spectral response in the 320nm to 400nm range. This sensor is ideal for laboratory applications measuring mercury, xenon, metal halide, or fluorescent lamps (commonly used for UVA studies,) as well as sunlight.

Solar Light’s ISO-Classified Analog Class I and Class II Pyranometers measure global hemispherical radiation from 285 to 2800nm. They utilize thermopile technology, assuring very broad spectral sensitivity, exceptional flatness, and excellent good long term stability.

Solar Light’s NIST-Traceable PMA-Series Analog Sensors represent the pinnacle of accuracy, durability, and selection on the market today. Our sensors measure discrete bands of the electromagnetic spectrum from the UVA, UVB, UVA+B, UVC, Visible Light, and Infrared regions. Both narrow and broad bands are available, to fit any application, including germicidal applications, environmental probes, and sensors for biologically weighted spectra (such as the erythema and CIE action spectra.) Over 135 different sensors are available in a variety of packages to fit any environment, from indoor clean rooms to harsh locations outdoors to 100 meters under water. Please note that Solar Light offers both Digital Sensors and Analog Sensors in the PMA-Series lineup. Select these Analog Sensors if you don’t need a digital display output of the reading, if you will be connecting to your own datalogger, or if you plan to use a voltage source to provide excitation voltage to the sensor and a digital volt or amp meter to read and convert the results. Analog Sensors are typically used as process sensors that are permanently installed to provide ongoing information. Typical current draw is under 1mA. (By contrast, Digital models are typically used as discrete sensors that are portable and located to provide short term information.)
