B. Hagner AB

Although various types of luxmeters were frequently available on the market, Bo and some of his colleagues saw the need for a simple but accurate luminance meter with a narrow measuring angle. Extensive development work took place and within a year the first prototype was ready; a luminance meter with a measuring angle of 1º with an optics that made it possible to not only see what area was measured but at the same time read the luminance value. There was a small void within the casing; a cable connected detector for measurement of illuminance was placed there and the first Hagner Universal Photometer was born.

As a manufacturing and development company B Hagner AB tries to respond to various photometric measuring needs in the market. Beside tunnel photometers and light sensors, which are for stationary outdoor use, the main aim of the company is to provide the market with reasonable priced, hand held, reliable and accurate photometric instruments, for use in the field as well as in the laboratory. The continuous work of improving existing instruments,
together with the development of new instruments has given B Hagner AB its present strong market position.
