Review on ☀️ Highly Accurate General Tools UV513AB Digital UVA/UVB Meter, 280-400 nm - Ultimate Solution for UV Rays measurement by Mario Schultz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Accurate UV readings. Minor imperfections

Supplied in a high-quality plastic hard case. It's great if the box is smaller, especially for carrying the tool. It has foam well cut into the treads. The device works perfectly, is very accurate and has excellent sensitivity. The navigation buttons aren't that fast and sometimes you have to press the same button two or three times. When reading, the sun's UV rays work well. However, it can read a maximum of 40 mW/cm2. It is important not to lose sight of the spectral sensitivity curve in the manual. The response at the extremes of spectral sensitivity (280 nm and 400 nm) is very small (about 10%). Perhaps for this reason, other reviews indicate that this tool is not suitable for reptile lamps. I examined it with 395nm LED flashlights and the instrument gave the answer (I think I need to adjust the meter). Suitable for measuring sunglasses. It can have 98% to 100% UV protection of many sunglasses and car glasses.
