    Accuracy and Limitations:

    1. Approximate Measurement: The lux values provided by this meter are approximate and may not reflect precise lighting conditions due to limitations in the pixel analysis method. Factors such as glare, reflection, and color temperature are not accounted for, which can impact the accuracy of the readings.
    2. Limited Accuracy: The accuracy of the lux readings is constrained by the capabilities of the device’s camera and the quality of the image captured. Variations in camera sensitivity, resolution, and dynamic range can introduce errors in the measurements.
    3. Environmental Factors: The lux meter may be influenced by environmental factors such as ambient light, shadows, and obstructions. It is more suitable for indoor environments with controlled lighting conditions rather than outdoor settings with fluctuating light levels.
    4. Calibration Requirement: The lux meter lacks a calibration mechanism to adjust for differences in camera sensitivity and other variables. Users should interpret the readings with caution and consider calibrating the meter against known lux values for improved accuracy.
    5. Approximate Error Percentage: Given the aforementioned limitations, the approximate error percentage of this lux meter can vary depending on the specific conditions and use case. In controlled indoor environments, the error may range from 10% to 30%, while in outdoor settings with direct sunlight, the error could be higher, potentially exceeding 50%.
    6. Use Cases: Despite its limitations, this lux meter can be useful for basic applications such as indoor lighting assessment, hobbyist projects, or educational purposes where precise lux measurement is not critical. It provides a convenient and accessible tool for estimating light levels in various environments.
