Review on 🌼 High-precision ANNMETER AN-881C Digital Illuminance Meter: Accurate Measurements for Plants, Photography, and More by Robbie Guinn

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Numbers that correspond to the expected performance of my lighting are not showing up

I was planning on using this light meter to adjust my lighting to make sure I was getting the maximum exposure without burning it out. My LED and the recommended readings I was expecting are not even registering on the device. For example, my light should be able to produce at least 20-100,000 (nominal) and this counter shows no more than 2000-3000. The instructions aren't very comprehensive, so I don't know exactly how to set up the meter. I had this meter reading below what I needed and was still burning my plants. I would say it hasn't made me more confident with my lighting conditions.

Pros
  • Omnidirectional metering
Cons
  • Big and bulky
