ABSTRACT:
A method of measuring light levels, particularly the measurement of exterior light levels in the zone of approach to a tunnel in which vehicles are moving, and from which exterior light levels the minimum light level to be programed inside the tunnel can be calculated, by means of a photo-sensitive cell installed in a recessed tube in order to sense light levels contained within a cone defined by the center of the cell, which constitutes the apex of the cone, and by at least the open end of the tube. The method includes limiting the quantity of light rays entering into tube via the cone, and a device is provided for implementing the method.
