Pros & Cons
Pros
The instruction manuel is very helpful if you never used one before. It includes the usual sorts of spelling and grammar mistakes, but at least you can understand most of it. They are very dependable and easy to use.
Inside the case, the foam insert snugly holds the light meter and even has a place for a spare battery. Comes in a foam-padded case that is made from high-quality plastic. It's not heavy or bulky.
Worn and tear is minimal after a weeks worth of usage, and it's held up to at least one fall. My wife is s packers fan, so it is an absolute blast wearing this hat any chance i get just to annoy her!
It runs off of a 9 volt battery which is included. The battery compartment is easy to open with just a little thumb pressure.
This light meter is accurate and simple to use. If you just want something inexpensive to compare light levels around the home or from one place to another, this is a perfectly reasonable, and reasonably priced, meter.
Cons
Reads all zeroes if you don't know the secret. Mastech, bother to mention the lens cap, and bother to include it in your illustration. It only accurately measures 4000k-ish light.
Highlights
Quality
Light levels are tracked easily, function switches on the device are simple and easy to use.
Seems like a high quality item, very responsive
Wear and tear is minimal after a weeks worth of usage, and it's held up to at least one fall.
Turns out that it was providing no more useful light than the oxidized reflector i replaced.
Price
Works as expected at a very attractive price.
The value of this for plant health really cannot be overstated.
To get a rough par value - simply multiply your lux value by .
To spend more money is a waste unless you need something waterproof.
Packaging/appearance
Packaging is amazing since it comes in a nice box case.
Well packaged, easy to use, comes with 9v battery and a nice case.
It also comes in a pretty big box, and isn't quite the most portable light meters out there.
Competitiveness
This product works as well as other more expensive lux meters.
As others have mentioned, this meter is really only good for comparison and not absolute measurements unless you've calibrated it yourself.
Neat tool for comparing your brands of lights.
I am using it to compare different sizes of lights and even if not exact rating, it still shows what ones are brighter than another.
