A good product. Fair price.

I work in commercial lighting and use this product to read foot candles almost every day. It's a little bulky and I wish they found a way to build the sensor into the device so you don't always have to use both hands to use the device (the sensor is always hanging around while I'm using the device). and juggling with a notebook, etc.). Seems well made and solid. It seems pretty accurate. This device cost me more than I was willing to pay for a tool like this, but it was recommended to me by…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Good light meter.

This is a well made gauge with some nice features at a reasonable price. Data logging is well suited for unattended recording. The one-button storage capacity is great when you need to log multiple readings but can't log them on the go. Like swimming in the pool :) What we do for a living! Put it in a shallow plastic tub (oil pan), put a towel in it to soak up any splashes of water, seal the gauge (not the head) in a zip-top bag, put on a life jacket and get paid to swim! The software is pretty

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Connecting the main cable to the meter after using the device several times, disconnecting and reconnecting in one day of use. The connection went bad and the device stopped reading.

We had to lug around general contractors to finish it. Revane said I couldn't fix it or replace…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of fashion
