SM218E Screen Brightness Meter

Keywords: screen brightness meter, LCD luminance tester, SM218E brightness meter, portable luminance meter, cd/m2 meter

The SM218E is a professional handheld screen brightness meter for measuring small-area luminous displays from 0.01 cd/m² up to 39 990 cd/m² without a dimmer.

The SM218E screen brightness meter is purpose-built for quality control, R&D, and field service teams who need fast, reliable luminance readings from compact light-emitting surfaces. Its silicon photocell detector is strictly spectrally calibrated to national secondary illuminance meter standards, giving accurate and stable measurements across fluorescent screens, CRT displays, LCD backlights, mobile phone panels, and security indicator lamps.

With a close-focus probe designed for targets as small as 10 mm and a split-host layout with a 1 m shielded extension cable, the SM218E fits comfortably into tight workspaces while the rubber-coated housing protects the instrument from shocks and drops.

Key Features

  1. Wide measuring range — 0.01 cd/m² to 39 990 cd/m² with no external dimmer required.

  2. Small-target capability — measures luminous areas ≥10 mm from distances ≤0.1 m.

  3. Strict spectral correction — silicon photocell detector calibrated to national secondary illuminance meter standards.

  4. User-friendly operation — 3¾-digit LCD with backlight, data hold, peak hold, low-battery prompt, and 5-minute auto shutdown.

  5. Portable split design — rubber-coated host, anti-reverse probe connection, and 1 m shielded cable for stable readings.

How to Use

  1. Install three CR2450 3V button lithium batteries in the host battery compartment.

  2. Connect the probe cable to the host; the anti-reverse key prevents incorrect insertion.

  3. Place the probe window directly in front of the target area (≤0.1 m, target ≥10 mm).

  4. Power on and read the luminance value on the LCD; use HOLD or PEAK as needed for your test.
