Review on πŸ”¦ Accurate Light Meter for 254Nm Lamp Range (220-280) by Vincent Poolaw

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't detect UV light

Not sure if it detects UV light of any length. I tried 3 different brand new UV lamps from 2 different manufacturers and the readings stayed at 0. I will try 2 other brand new UV lamps to see if I get readings. I will update this review after my next series of tests. UPDATE: I tested 3 additional UV lamps from 2 different manufacturers and the readings stayed at 0. I swapped the batteries from the ones supplied, the result is the same, the reading is 0. In total I tried to test 6 different ones UV lamps, all in the wavelength range of this detector, and all tests returned 0 readings. I ran my tests with the UV light off, then turned on the detector, then turned on the light, the detector showed 0 on the display. I then ran my tests with the UV light on and then turned on the detector next to the UV light but the detector reading is still 0. I left the detector near the UVC lamps for a few minutes but the reading is still 0. I'll post that back. This particular detector does not work

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
