Review on Extech Instruments 407026 Light Meter by Steven Pankey

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Device failed earlier than it should have, bad connections. on the cable and on the main meter.

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. The block failed on the second floor, we had just started from 5 floors, similar to the ones we had yet to do. we had another one that was starting to go haywire (we bought the unit around the same time we got this one. We had to lug around general contractors to finish it. Revane said I couldn't fix it or replace it, our deadline was expired so we only spent a few hundred dollars on a tool that should have lasted much longer and we've taken really good care of it.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Out of fashion
