does the job for any practical purpose. I’m glad i got this it does what it says it does. and that’s all i needed it for. The ones that sing and dance aren’t for me

Interesting Measurement Tool
Comparatively I don’t have much to go off of, but I can say it’s numbers fall in the ranges there supposed to be in any test I preformed so I’d imagine it’s accurate. Also it’s easy to use and for the price if anyone artificially grows anything it’s kind of a must have and well worth the money.

Good quality for the price
Although the documentation specifies +/- 3% accuracy, at this price I was doubtful. Decided to invest in more expensive meter (twice the price). At levels above 100 lux the meters give quite similar readings. In lower light settings this meter yields moderately lower readouts. While I’m glad I invested in the more expensive unit, others may opt for this meter, especially if one doesn’t expect to use it often in lower light situations.

Nice for batonics
This company makes many different heads that they attach to this base. They are attached at the factory, not for end user, however this does give me confidence in the product line. I am using for microgreens and it works fine for me.

Work as it should but not what you think
So I wanted to test the Luman of flashlights. This is not made to do this. This test LUX. Lux and lum are not the same. This measures the amount of light that is projected on a m3 area. Not directly from the source.

Does not work properly
Item did not work properly, after seeing some reviews I am not the only one with this problem. To return the item I have to drive 15 miles to ship it back and I am disabled so that is tough and to get it picked up is another $8.00 it was only $10.00 so what do you do. Very disappointed and would not recommend

Easy to use
This really helped me take the guesswork out of understanding my lighting conditions for my plants. I did 3 readings a day (morning, noon, afternoon) for a few days to get a better understanding of what sports are truly âbrightâ âmediumâ and âlowâ light.

Works exactly as described. Screen is nice and bright, includes batteries is a plus. There’s other metres exactly the same for twice the price — there’s not reason to spend more money. This one does exactly what they do.
