Ultra-Light Logger
LUL "Logger Ultra Léger" - Ultra Light Logger
The LUL is the tiniest bio-logger of the family. While measuring temperature, light and pressure every minute, it provides a 1,5 years life time for a total weight (including batteries and casing) of just 2,0 grams. Casing is customizable according to the intended use (biocompatible casing for implantation or pressure resistant for deep diving use); the size and nature of batteries can be adapted to the application and the temperature conditions.

Lifetime of loggers versus acquisition periods for: Pressure P, temperature T and light L (examples):
PTL = 1", 10", 10" > 320 days (10 months)
PTL = 2", 10", 10" > 550 days (1,5 years)
PTL = 4", 10", 10" > 860 days (3,2 years)
*When >-15°C operation is convenient, another battery technology can be used, thus reducing weight and size of the logger. Please contact us for discussion.
*Casing is designed on demand.
