Abstract
By example of the SON-T- and HQI-T-spectrum, models for the spectral e valuation of artificial light sources were created and used for the co mparison of light sensors. Using the spectral evaluation function of p hotosynthesis as valid basis, both models show the better aptitude of HQI-T for photosynthetic lighting because of its spectral emission. Am ong the tested light sensors the Quantum Sensor and the Par 'Special' Sensor are most suitable for the measurement of the intensity of photo synthetic active artificial light.
