Re: Low lux reading WH3081
Hi,
Welcome to the forum. What does it read at lower light levels, and what does Cumulus show? A screenshot of the Cumulus Solar (watts/m2) graph might be helpful (or even data from Easyweather).
I would expect a reading nearer to 113 kLux under those conditions, however the specification is only an (optimistic) +/- 15%.
But the likely answer (if Lux readings are important to you) is that yes, you may need to buy a new Solar Pod; I don't know of anybody who has managed to repair one.
Cheers, Alan.
