Poor quality and design

Worked well while it was in working condition. I used it very rarely for 4 months, after which the wire came off the soldering board. Care has always been taken in use and storage so there was no reason for breakage other than poor quality and design.

Pros
  • Measures up to 40,000 fc
Cons
  • Not reliable

Rip off. Buy elsewhere. I want a refund!

What a robbery. When I'm looking for a PAR meter, I'm not looking for a light meter. LUX and FC are NOT the same as PAR. Hydro Farm used to sell a PAR meter that looks the same as the crap they just sold me but is being discontinued. Now they are robbing people by selling outdated products or products that don't measure light intensity. hell man. What the hell.

Pros
  • Handy remote control sensor
Cons
  • Insecure

Poor quality urine; very bad design. . .

Overall good experience with Hydrofarm products; but their light meter leaves a lot to be desired. Aside from the lack of CR2032 batteries as stated in the Revain listing, it didn't respond at all when a new battery was put in - for my money. When the indicator finally became visible after sequentially removing and reinserting the battery, it was giving erroneous low battery warnings. and the only way to erase archived readings was to remove CR2032, which would probably require some sort of…

Pros
  • Lifetime Silicon Cell (Lithium, 3V, CR2032) - includes information leaflet with lighting recommendations
Cons
  • Exorbitant price
