Review on Blue Sea Systems 9353 Voltmeter by Zachary Caldwell

This is a nice well built meter that does what it's supposed to do with variable voltage. It also requires no additional components and can be connected directly to the mains. The only problem is that the backlight is too dim. The meter gives you a choice of 12 or 24 VDC input for the lights. I tried both and all I got was a dull green glow that wasn't enough to read the dial with no ambient light. I installed the meter in a special Variac case and didn't need the meter backlight. If you're looking for a counter with built-in lighting, then this isn't for you. It works very well as an AC voltage meter. A bit expensive.
