The Testo External Lux Probe 0572 2158 is an essential accessory for monitoring light-sensitive objects in museums, galleries, and archives. Designed to seamlessly integrate with Testo 160 E and 160 THE Wi-Fi data loggers, this probe accurately logs cumulative light exposure, helping to preserve valuable art and artifacts.

Its discreet design ensures it remains non-noticeable when placed with exhibits or within display cases, providing critical data without disrupting the viewing experience. The probe comes with a 0.6 m connecting cable, with options for extension up to 10 meters, offering flexible placement.

With a robust illuminance measurement range of 0 to 20,000 Lux, this digital probe delivers maximum reliability. The smart calibration feature stores calibration points internally, allowing the probe to be calibrated independently of the data logger, ensuring consistent accuracy over time.
