Light Meter: We had a second talk for the night given by Jane Wright on the new light meter recently purchased by the society. Jane explained light to us from the visible to the invisible, and how most light was measured against what the human eye can see. The new light meter measures closer to what a plant uses for photosynthesis. This is called photosynthetically active radiation, or in the shortened form is known as PAR.
