I was in the market for an accurate and durable digital light meter and had come across this. Decided to take the plunge, sub of $50 so I thought it was a good deal next to the professional meters that cost $100's.Sturdy plastic case, 9v battery, manual, warrantee card and a couple screws is what I found included with the light meter.I've been using this for more than a month and had found it pretty accurate next to a friend’s more expensive meter. So meaning I get pretty much the same results but without spending a couple hundred bucks. I've used this to measure LED, halogen, fluorescent as well as incandescent and quite happy in how this reads.I'm a gardener so I know how important light is for proper growth so having a meter like this to tweak the lights over you plant canopy to maximize light spread I've found quite useful. Our eye cannot do this properly.Some general thoughts:A small thing but I like the chain that attaches both sensor and sensor cap. My friends more expensive unit does not have this and he's lost his a couple times so with this I have no worries.I've not used the foot-candles function yet so I cannot comment on that feature.This meter is manufactured to reduce the number of digits on the screen so only a maximum of 4 numbers are displayed at any time. So if you have a lux reading of tens of thousands lux you don't need to have tons of digits shown...this unit is clever as it gives you a x10 and a x100 setting by pressing a 'Range' button.Meaning if you measure a light source it will give a maximum reading of 1999 lux that being the x1 or standard setting. If your light source is 2000 or more press the Range button to get a x10 reading, the number displayed just times that by 10. If your light source is even higher than the middle or x10 setting press the Range button again to get a x100 reading. That result just times by 100 to get that final reading. Using the Range setting I don't find this being an inconvenience but a positive. You’ll know when you need to use the Range button as your screen will give you the proper readings up to 1999 then all of a sudden it will then just show the single digit ‘ 1 ‘. This is all easy to do, I’ve let my son operate this without issues.The unit itself as you can see in the pictures is both grey and orange. The grey is the actual meter and the orange is a heavy duty rubber casing which can be easily removed. On the back of the meter there is a mounting slot so you can affix this vertically to a wall or a structure. When you need to change the battery just remove the rubber case and open the battery door.I also find convenient the wrapped wired cord attached to the light sensor. The cord can stretch out to roughly 1.5 meters away from the main unit so your not stuck with a light sensor that is fixed to the main light meter.For negatives, I really haven’t come across any yet, I’m actually surprised. Yes it does not have a huge metal case, I’m sure there are better sensors in professional units however for what it is and what it does I’m more than happy with the $50 price.I’ve only been using this for a month so time will tell. If anything changes I’ll update the review.I'm happy with my purchase and feel it's a good bang for the buck.An honest review
