Current proposals for sky-scanning luminance meters are restricted by limited sensitivity, calibration difficulties, aiming problems, complexity of scanning mechanism, lengthy scan time and high cost. A scanner is proposed, based upon fibre-optic detectors, which could overcome a number of these constraints.
