About
LumenLab is 100% software, using your iPhone's built-in camera — no external hardware required. LumenLab turns your iPhone's rear camera into a real-time light meter. By reading the camera's exposure metrics (ISO, shutter, aperture), it computes the illuminance of your environment in lux — perfect for photographers, plant growers, interior designers, and anyone who cares about lighting.
KEY FEATURES
• Real-time lux reading using camera exposure parameters
• Color-coded zones: dark · dim · normal · bright · glaring
• Lighting recommendations for each level
• One-tap session reset
• Core measurement works offline — no tracking, no ads, no account
USE CASES
• Photographers checking ambient light levels
• Cinematographers metering scene illumination
• Plant growers ensuring grow-light intensity
• Interior designers checking room brightness
• Office ergonomics (recommended 300–500 lux)
• Reading nook brightness check
PRO FEATURES (optional subscription)
• Advanced metrics row: EV, ISO, Shutter, Aperture (f/)
• Session statistics: minimum, average, maximum lux
• Calibration multiplier to align with a professional reference meter
• CSV export of full session log (timestamp, lux, EV, calibration factor)
• Zero ads forever
HOW IT WORKS
LumenLab opens the camera (no recording, no preview saved), reads the device's auto-exposure metrics every frame, and applies the photographic equation:
EV = log₂(N²/t) − log₂(S/100)
lux ≈ 2.5 × 2^EV × calibration
This is a practical camera-exposure estimate. For critical comparisons, calibrate against a known light source or reference meter.
LIMITATIONS
The iPhone camera is not a calibrated photometer. Readings are estimates and can vary by device, lens, scene reflectance, and auto-exposure behavior. Not suitable for regulatory, lab, or safety measurements.
PRIVACY
The camera is opened only to read auto-exposure metadata. No images, video, or audio are recorded, saved, or transmitted. No analytics, no ads, no account. StoreKit is used only for the optional Pro subscription.

What's New in LumenLab
1.0.5
June 20, 2026
LumenLab now adds Room Fit guidance, turning the lux reading into clearer advice for reading, desk work, detail tasks, bright spaces, and glare risk. The top controls also have larger tap targets, and the simulator camera fallback, Pro export, and calibration flow were rechecked for this release.
