If you’re an indoor gardener or home grow tent enthusiast, then you will definitely want to figure out a way to perfectly light your plants for optimal photosynthesis. In order to do so, you need appropriate tools to measure and set light intensity and in the past we have used Photone using a paper diffuser as discussed in this video:

Now, Photone made a new clip on light diffuser accessory that conveniently attaches to your phone while improving the light reading accuracy as a bonus.
In this video, we test the accuracy on Spider Farmer’s SE4500 LED Grow Light which is a bar light featuring Samsung’s LM301B Diodes.

Awesome comparison. I use Photone App with this diffuser
Were do i buy the diffuser?
Thanks for all the knowledge and wisdom that you give to us, especially for us beginners. I really appreciate it.
Could you give us an idea of how accurate the paper diffuser is compared to the accessory?
where did you get that diffuser?
I bought the diffuser about a week after I got the app and I like it .
Heads up, LED mode not needed with diffuser. I had closer readings when in the SUN mode instead of LED Full Spec. Using HLG Scorpion Diablos.
On my Android phone ppfd caps out at 571. Can I use DLI to get an idea of what my light is putting out.
I just ordered my clip on diffuser. Getting ready to start my first indoor grow!
I might just get a seed going while I wait for it to arrive 😂❤
I can't select my diffusor in the settings, does anyone know why?
Something to note there are variances in the 22lb paper some will be 80 g/m2 but shoot for the one thats 83 g/m2 98 bright. I can get 83 g/m2 96 bright in my store lol
Great info man. Thanks for taking the time!
I got myself a
Digital Luxmeter Photometer it only cost me 14€
Ordering the diffuser. Great video bro.👍🏻
I just got this thing, might have been using the wrong weighted paper for some time now. What I believed to be a ~45 DLI, once using their diffuser attachment, my readings are closer to like 33. I was kind of stunned. I turned my lights up for the afternoon to get closer to ~45… And the next morning I noticed my fan tip leaves were getting a bit burnt. People are raving about the accuracy of this thing, and I'm not trying to argue that, more just understand what's what. Great video thanks for taking the time.
I cant get this accessory to get an accurate reading to save my life. My photone app with paper diffuser had readings close to what the manufacturer and other independent reviewers PAR maps say but this accessory is giving me reading like 200 PPFD lower than what I would expect. The app is set to use the accessory and I have positioned it correctly and tried slight adjustments to no avail. If I were to use this accessory I would probably fry my plants. At 80% power, 260 watts, this accessory is showing just 700 PPFD at like 4 inches away from my light. I should be getting those readings at like 18 inches away. Really disappointed because Im tired of taping paper to my phone lol. This is with an iPhone 14 pro.
Hoping someone can shed some advice because I would love to have the accuracy this video portrays.
Assuming the apogee is correct.
Do I need this for s23 ultra?
Thank you for this review made me very confident that I spent my money well!!
Got the App for Android and apperently you don't need the difussor anymore
If you don't mind me asing how much does that Spider Farmer costs?
Thanks
Just got myself the diffuser as well but couldn't compare since I don't have the Apogee ($$$$)! I'm so grateful for that video!! Thank you good sir!!
Thanks to you I’ve started growing and documenting my process. Has made my experience amazing!
Где можно купить такую линзу для телефона?
Bought it! Appreciate the video
Samsung 21 is on point. I have the par meter and they were a match. Had the par meter for about 4 years now and just downloaded the app when i started my run. Just happen to stumble across a video who mentioned it. Helps me in a pinch
i have that! nice! would have loved you forever, if you tested DLI lol
Told ya! I'm glad you tested it out though 🙂
I ordered that months ago and never looked back on doing the paper project. Night and day difference IMO
Thanks. I like this app and your right the paper thing always annoys me and I am always worried it needs to be held tight so I hold it funny and then worry I might drop in and injure my plants. This looks like a cool add on. It’s not a no brainer for me though. I ran out of paper yesterday 😂.
I ordered mine yesterday
👀
I use it for months now .. works good !
might as well just buy that future horti par meter for $30 ,more
I bought that little defuser a month ago n my grows have really improved it just shows me u dont always need the best of the best
Always quality content my friend will buy the diffuser no doubts. They should give you a discount code for your suscribers or a buy link.
You uploaded this right when I started questioning my light intensity , and based on the sheer timing and constant knowledge I had to support this 👏🏼
Got this when it was released a couple months ago and the problem I have with it is it’s hard to tell when it’s centered over the sensor all the way. Move it slightly and the reading are way off. Wish it was designed to stop so it’s not moved to far over the sensor.
Thanks for all that you do for our hobby. Got one on order. Had to use the Staples paper this morning. Could not have done my first grow with out your help. My Hydro grow is just a few weeks from harvest and its -5 outside.
Gibt es das auch in Deutschland. 😅 ich hoffe es! Heute geb ich mal mein Kommentar komplett in deutsch. Danke für eure Videos. Thanks for your best Videos. I Like it an i have to learn many more 👍😉 also danke aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
Also for only 9 extra dollars you're supporting a company who obviously supports the hobby lol…imo that's worth something.
i should probably get one
Sweet, better than me looking for my paper every time I check 😂
Thanks bro you have tought me soooo many differences in indoor growing. I appreciate all the love you share
much love – C
Do I need a diffuser for my Samsung 21 or is it only Apple
