There are many articles discussing about building DIY lumen tester and I came acrossĀ an idea to build such device using Arduino and some light intensity detector module to test a flashlight’s runtime.
Instead of using lumens measurementĀ during the time frame, I will only calculate its percentage during some period of time. Here’s my expected result of the test:
I think it’s a lot easier for flashlight user to imagineĀ their flashlight brightness changing using percentage instead of the amount of lumens output.
