5 ★ This is a great tool for experimenting with different types of lighting. One must already have a basic understanding of the energy emitting from light to understand this app. This app truly does give a basis that creates a scale for comparison. I have experimented with four different lamps using the same measurements and have received different data from each lamp. I am not sure of the accuracy of the absorption rate within the app. It does calculate different absorption with same measurements.
5 ★ Its very very important usefull prog Thanks so mutch
1 ★ Useless
1 ★ Terrible UX and crashed immediately with cryptic for message when clicking only button
5 ★ Simple, but does what it says and works well.
