Abstract

Lighting in workspaces is a topic that has attracted the interest of think tanks due to its impact on various aspects, ranging from energy consumption to productivity, safety, health, and education. In the educational field, it has been shown that lighting contributes 21% more to student progress compared to other environmental factors. In that sense, this paper presents the development of an innovative prototype called Prototype for Measuring and Monitoring Light in Laboratories and Classrooms (PMLLA). This prototype uses state-of-the-art electronic components, such as the ESP32, the BH1750 temperature sensor, the SSD1306 OLED display, the 4x4 matrix keyboard and the microSD memory module. The PMLLA offers a solution to measure light intensity accurately, reliably and intuitively in working environments such as laboratories and classrooms. In addition, the prototype facilitates data storage, enabling continuous analysis and evaluation of lighting levels in laboratory and classroom environments.
