Review on 🌧️ Lignomat Moisture Meter Mini-Ligno S/D Black: Compact and Efficient Moisture Detection Tool by Mike Walters

Mini-Ligno S/D vs Delmhorst J-Lite

I have been using a Delmhorst J-LITE 6-30% contact LED wood moisture meter for a while and am generally happy with it. The case is large enough to be carried around and it's frustrating that the percentage is displayed in less than a second as the only way I know of to document the reading is by taking a photo of the meter in action . It takes perfect timing and multiple attempts to snap the readings on the J-Lite. I ordered the Mini-Ligno S/D for the improved portability (it fits easily in a jacket pocket and the cap covers the probes and sensors). switch), its ability to measure drywall/plaster moisture and a slightly lower price. The mini-ligno seems lighter and cheaper, but I'll wait and see if there are any durability issues. I love that the percentage is shown as long as you leave the meter in the woods to just take pictures or show off at a meeting. Both got the same readings in multiple tests. Winner? Difficult to say, but the Mini-Ligno is easier to carry, so I'll use it more often than the J-Lite.

Pros
  • Scanner and Tester
Cons
  • Slightly Torn
