Light meters from the company K2W Lights of the Mark 2.3l type. This instrument, designed for the precise and high-frequency detection of very small amounts of light, was developed in a co-operation between the Kuffner Observatory Association and the Thuringian State Observatory. It is in use worldwide and is used by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), among others, for site testing of the world’s most powerful telescopes due to its outstanding quality.
