Review on BTMETER BT-881D Digital Light Meter for Plants and LED Lights - Measures Lights from 0.01~400,000 Lux (0.01~40,000 FC) Foot Candles - Luxmeter with 270º Rotated Sensor - Indoor Outdoor Light Tester by James Holker

NO PAR test, do not buy if LED lights need testing, wrong item description

Unfortunately, the title speaks for itself. I needed this device for the specified "PAR meter" function, which this device does not have. PAR and LUX are two very different ways of measuring light. I use LED lights and LUX meters are horribly inaccurate with LED lights so they usually read a lot more or less than what your little plants are actually getting. It was an easy to use device. So if you use grow lights *other than* LEDs or if you do NOT need PAR readings I'm sure it's a great device. However, in its current state, the product is listed incorrectly,
