🌞 Extech EA30 Easy View Wide Range Light Meter: Accurate Foot Candle Measurement Tool for Various Lighting Environments Review

Very easy to use. Looks pretty accurate. The only criticism is that the screen is not backlit. I use a photometer to assess landscape lighting. The illuminated display helps in the dark.

Works very well but I have two small flaws: 1. The cable is a bit short so the sensor can't be too far from the meter. I'm using this to measure very low light levels in an enclosure, so that's a problem.2. It measures negative light conditions! How is that possible? Am I standing next to a black hole? You should have put it in brackets at 0.

The meter works well. My only complaint is that the range isn't automatically selected. We're using it as a replacement for another Extech autoranging product, so losing it was a bit of a downgrade. If you use it a lot, range switching becomes second nature. But that's disappointing, the product has gotten worse over time, not better.
