Using SOLight it is possible to accurately determine the amount of available light (or shade) and the length of time it is incident!
> LIVE VIEW
This mode is an instant way of seeing the position of the sun relative to wherever the device is pointed. If the sun is not in view of the device, an animated sun arrow helpfully points the way to the current sun position, realigning itself in real-time as the device is re-oriented.
Built in compass display shows the precise direction the device is pointed at so when sun track images are recorded.
> SUN PATHS
Automatically displayed Winter/Summer Paths– In the display, the red and yellow lines above and below the suns current (white) track indicate where the sun tracks at the highest and lowest points of its seasonal travel.
Sun tracking curves are displayed with an easy to read timeline so the time of day when the sun passes a particular point, or the time shading starts/ends can be read by simply looking along the sun track.
> COMPARE
Date View – Set a new date. The display will update to show data about the position of the sun and its track relevant to that date.
Detailed information about the track of the sun and its position at any time is available right on the screen or in the Detail View.
> SUN PICS
Save your sun track image or share the picture instantly via email – location scouts and realtors can send an image of their screen containing all the sun position, sun track, time and location information to an email address or save the taken picture on the device for later use.
