Customer Review
Reviewed in Canada on November 4, 2023
This light meter comes with everything you need to get started - batteries (2 x AAA), a tiny screw driver to open the battery compartment, a handy carrying case, a cover for the light meter itself with a handy string so you don't lose the cover. I LOVE it when the manufacturer / seller thinks of everything their customers will need to get started! *** F E A T U R E S *** The meter gives you the option of a back-lit screen or not, light measurements in "lux" or "foot candles", temperature reading in Celsius or Fahrenheit, and even a "record" button - although I have no idea what that's for. *** WHAT I LEARNED *** What I learned from buying this light meter is that on a rainy winter day in Vancouver, you could stick your houseplants on your roof surrounded by tin foil and mirrors & they still wouldn't be getting enough light for meaningful growth. But if you're like me, and don't have the option of moving to a sunnier climate, then you can use this light meter to compare the light your houseplants are getting from one window versus another, or from one grow light or another. Amazing how much the light measurements go down just a foot or two from the window! I think this meter helps to make sure your houseplants are getting enough light in the dimmer months. I recommend this meter, and as you can see from the video, so does Bamboo the cat - she gives it "paws up"!
