HOBO MX2502 Underwater PAR Data Logger

Introducing the Next Generation of Underwater PAR Monitoring

The new HOBO MX2502 provides high-accuracy underwater PAR measurements in a compact, rugged logger designed for real-world deployments. Featuring the trusted LI-COR LI-192 sensor, Bluetooth wireless offload, and an integrated tilt sensor, the MX2502 makes collecting reliable light data easier than ever — whether you’re studying seagrass, tracking habitat health, or monitoring aquaculture environments.

Research-Grade PAR Accuracy

Using the integrated LI-COR LI-192 Quantum Sensor, the MX2502 delivers industry-leading PAR measurement accuracy across 400–700 nm for precise underwater light profiling.

Bluetooth Configuration & Offload

Quickly configure the logger and offload data wirelessly in the field using the free HOBOconnect app — no cables, adaptors, or laptop required.

Integrated Tilt Sensor

Built-in tilt measurement ensures correct sensor orientation and supports post-deployment data correction when conditions shift.

Built for Long-Term Aquatic Deployments

Rated for both freshwater and saltwater use, with optional wiper accessory to keep the optical window clear. Up to 5-year factory-replaceable battery supports long deployments with confidence.
