Smart Lights 1.0.0.7
Thanks to the numerous sensors fitted to each unit, some mobile phones can carry out rather complex jobs when the appropriate software tools make the most of the hardware capabilities.
Thus, those who want to discover the luminosity levels in their near vicinity can enlist the help of Smart Lights, a utility that puts to work the light sensor that is standard equipment for many Windows Phone devices.
Smooth graphics and responsive display
The application has a friendly look, with some cool graphics designed to be pleasant to the eye and also very practical. The main gauge is very responsive, without being overly sensitive to changes in luminosity.
The information is displayed in a very clear manner, which makes it easy to read, while browsing the long list of registered activities is done fluently and without any delays.
Fast luminosity detection expressed in several measurement units
From the moment it is started Smart Lights continuously detects the light values for the environment that is within the reach of the light sensor.
The raw numbers appear promptly, while the gauge offers a more refined view, as its dial is segmented into several subdivisions and the needle indicates the current range.
Since the application can show the luminosity expressed in several units, you can change the one on display by flipping the gauge horizontally or by simply tapping the abbreviation of the measurement unit.
Set alert levels and view recommended activities for various lighting levels
Smart Lights provides some really useful suggestions concerning the activities that can be carried out in various places, depending on the luminosity level of that area.
These hints are each conditioned by certain maximum and minimum light values and they will appear in the lower part of the screen. The advisable activities come in relatively large numbers and you can even read some details about some of them, but these notes are available for a small number of items.
Setting the alert level that signals entering the luminosity zone for a specific type of activity can be done in two ways: either by picking the activity from the drop-down list at the top of the screen or by entering manually the desired value and the tolerance.
