The Monnit ALTA Wireless Light Meter is a compact, commercial-grade illuminance sensor designed to simplify indoor light monitoring for museums, galleries, archives, offices, and other light-sensitive environments. Powered by commercial AA batteries, this discreet device delivers precise lux readings from 0 to 83,000 lux in indoor spaces, helping preserve artwork, textiles, and exhibits while ensuring optimal visitor illumination. Its wireless capability connects to Monnit gateways and the cloud, enabling real-time monitoring, historical data, and proactive alerts without the complexity of hard-wired systems. For facilities managers, this means accurate, scalable lighting oversight that fits the pace of modern operations—with minimal maintenance and no heavy electrical work. The ALTA Light Meter makes it straightforward to verify lighting uniformity, track changes over time, and implement data-driven lighting strategies that balance preservation needs with energy efficiency. In a busy gallery or museum, where lighting can influence both the integrity of sensitive items and the visitor experience, having dependable, easy-to-deploy sensors is a strategic advantage. This device is designed to integrate with Monnit’s secure cloud platform, empowering your team with a single, centralized view of multiple sensors across spaces, floors, or campuses. Experience reliable indoor lux monitoring that turns lighting management from guesswork into verifiable, actionable insight.

  • Precise lux measurement for indoor lighting — The ALTA Wireless Light Meter delivers accurate illuminance readings in lux across an indoor range from 0 up to 83,000 lux. Designed with interior spaces in mind, it captures the light levels that affect artwork, textiles, and display environments. By providing stable, repeatable readings, it helps facilities teams validate lighting layouts, verify color rendering, and ensure consistent exposure for sensitive assets. The data can be logged with timestamps, enabling you to analyze lighting patterns over hours, days, or weeks and make informed decisions about display lighting, daylight harvesting, and exhibit sequencing. This level of precision is essential for maintaining exhibit integrity and creating an optimal viewing experience for visitors, while also supporting compliance with curatorial or conservation guidelines that specify permissible light levels.
  • Wireless and scalable monitoring across facilities — The ALTA sensor communicates wirelessly with Monnit gateways and the cloud, allowing you to deploy multiple meters across large spaces without running new wiring. This makes it ideal for campuses, long corridors, galleries with multiple rooms, and museums with evolving floor plans. With a centralized Monnit portal, you can monitor all deployed meters from a single interface, set up site hierarchies, and compare readings across rooms or zones. The scalable design means you can start with a few meters in high-priority areas and expand as your monitoring needs grow, maintaining consistent data collection and visibility across your operation.
  • Configurable data collection and alerts — You control how often readings are collected, from frequent intervals to longer-term sampling, to balance data granularity with battery life. The system supports customizable alert thresholds so you’re notified if lux levels drift outside your defined range, enabling proactive adjustments to preserve exhibits or maintain consistent ambiance. Notifications can be delivered through the Monnit portal, and depending on your setup, you can route alerts to relevant staff members or building-management workflows. This capability helps you maintain curatorial standards, protect priceless items, and respond quickly to any unexpected lighting changes.
  • Reliable power and simple maintenance — The ALTA Light Meter is powered by commercial AA batteries, designed for straightforward replacement without specialized tools. This battery-powered approach minimizes wiring and simplifies installation, reducing downtime during deployment or relocation. With easy access to replaceable batteries, you can keep the sensor operational with minimal maintenance, ensuring continuous data collection and uninterrupted monitoring over extended periods. The straightforward power design is particularly advantageous in retrofit projects or historic spaces where wiring upgrades are impractical or undesirable.
  • Flexible installation and seamless integration — The sensor’s compact form factor fits discreetly on shelves, inside display cases, or mounted to walls near exhibits. Its zero-wuss integration with Monnit’s cloud platform means you can combine light data with other sensor streams (temperature, humidity, occupancy) for a holistic view of environmental conditions. The installation process is designed to be quick and non-disruptive, so curatorial staff and facilities teams can set up monitoring in hours rather than days. With robust data collaboration, you can align lighting strategies with conservation best practices while maintaining an engaging, well-lit environment for visitors.

How to install Monnit ALTA Wireless Light Meter

Installing the Monnit ALTA Wireless Light Meter is a straightforward process designed to minimize disruption to your space. Begin by ensuring you have fresh AA batteries for immediate setup. Open the battery compartment and insert two AA cells, following the orientation indicators inside the housing. Close the compartment securely to ensure a proper seal. Mount the sensor in your preferred location—on a wall, shelf, or within a display case—using the provided mounting hardware or alternative approved mounting methods. Power on the device and allow it to initialize. Next, pair the meter with a Monnit Gateway according to your organization’s typical setup: ensure the gateway is online, add the new sensor within the Monnit Portal, and assign it to the correct location or zone. Finally, configure your data-collection preferences in the portal, including the sampling frequency, duration of readings, and alert thresholds. After setup, monitor live readings in the dashboard, verify data integrity, and confirm that alerts are delivered as intended. If needed, adjust sensor placement to minimize interference from nearby lighting fixtures and maximize the representativeness of the measured lux levels.

The squeeker isn't durable, but the balls themselves are.
Color: S6-muti-color, Color: S6-muti-color
I have two 70+lb, ball obsessed dogs (a field bred Golden Retriever, and an Old Time Scotch Collie), and these balls are living up to the abuse they're receiving. In the fall we always lose a ball or two in the yard due to getting lost in leaves or longer grass, so I always try and buy a multi pack at the start of the season, so went with these this year. I'm glad I did. Great price for a 6 pack, they fit the medium Chuck-It launcher (a little loosely, but they throw just fine), have great bounce, they FLOAT (which means I didn't lose any at the beach), and they're super durable to the dreaded "mouth squish." The squeaker dies pretty quick, like, within a day, but it isn't the kind that can fall out or choke your dog, so no worries there. The boys are happy, I'm happy, my wallet is happy - I've already ordered another pack.
