This is kinda weird...
I have two Android phones with the Photone app installed. The PAR meter readings are very different. The left phone in the pictures is an S22 Ultra and the right phone is a Note8.
Here are the two phones side by side in the center of the tent:
Here they are at the left side of the tent:
Here they are at the right side of the tent:
To make matters even more interesting, setting the left light to about 20% lower (30%) than the right light (50%) results in the left-side reading being higher than the right side reading. Both lights are the Viparspectra XS2000 model and are hung at the same height. All the readings were taken with the door zipped shut except for enough room to poke a camera lens through to take the pictures.
Recommendations for a better meter (at a reasonable price) are welcome, but aside from that, what the heck could be going on here?
