  • Works Great
This has been a life saver for reading lighting for my plants. I didn't realize how low the FC was in some arras with plants that looked okay but were not flourishing. I moved them ti better locations and most are now thriving. For plants, the FC x 10 is the setting to use. Plants with low light requirements generally need at least 200 FC, bright indirect light is around 400-800, and anything above 800 is usually for plants with higher or direct light needs. Even though some areas where I had plants looked bright enough, when I used this to check the light it registered below 100 FC most of the day. So glad I got this! ... show more

  • Easy to use and accurate
I'm a photographer and videographer and shoot in a studio with CFLs in softboxes. I wanted a method of quickly measuring the output of light heads and CFLs. And Dr.Meter seems to be just what the doctor ordered. BUILD quality is good: sturdy plastics, rubberized buttons and a thick rubber bumper. It feels solid and confident in hand. The LCD looks like something from the 1980s (no gray scale or color) and lacks a backlight. The light sensor is under a translucent dome and attached to a coiled cable hardwired to the device. It might be a little too easy to snag the cable on something and damage it. A plug-in/replaceable cable would be preferable. OPERATION: Peel off the rubber bumper, lift off the battery door and install a 9v battery (included). Squeeze the bumper back on and you're ready to rock. Hit power and point the dome at the light source. If it shows "1" on the LCD, that's Dr.Meter speak for "out of range." Press the range button to calibrate to a higher measure value. You have a choice of LUX or FC and can retain/stop metering by pressing the hold button. That's pretty much it. If you plan on comparing or recording a lot of data points, bring a pencil and paper. This is a barebones meter and has no data transmission or memory ability. One thing I learned after metering my lights is manufacturer specs for CFLs are totally whack. In other words, Dr.Meter confirms what my eyes suspected: some 60W bulbs are brighter than 105W bulbs! So I need to balance lights by actual light output and not according to manufacturer specs. The other useful thing about this meter is I can record output of each light head from the subject's position, write it down, and precisely recreate the light balance of the set at a later date. FINAL BLURB: All in a great meter for measuring light levels in studios, offices, stage sets and homes: easy to use, accurate and priced reasonably. ... show more

  • Good for the price
I have now bought 2 of these illuminance meters (LX1330B). I purchase the first one about a year ago in 2022 Feb and the second in 2024 Jan. I performed a test just now: With the sensors positioned touching each other, sitting on a table under a 20-foot long fluorescent light array, the new meter reads 54.7 fc and the old meter 53.2 fc -- a "quality control" tolerance of 2.8%. (...at least for these two units.) I think it is safe to assume that these units can be used in situations where a tolerance of +/-5% is allowed. However, I would not trust them for any situation needing more accuracy than that. Overall, I think this product is a good deal because the price is low ($35 as of 2024-01-26). If the QC tolerance were any worse, then I would be concerned. I hope the manufacturer does not begin to skimp on "important" internal components of these units, now that they have built up a good following. I did notice that the new unit does not have the inside of the sensor cover painted with opaque paint. Also, the new unit did not come with a storage case like my old unit did. I have to go get a case. ... show more

  • a worthy meter
I recently received the Mastech meter to monitor the lighting in my nursery. I found it easy to use although the directions might be a bit improved. For instance, putting in the supplied battery it's necessary to remove the rubber casing. The instructions said to slide off the battery cover in the direction of the arrow but there was no arrow and the cover wouldn't securely fit unless the rubber case was on. It took a little practice to figure out the scales since pushing the range button wasn't simply reflected on the LCD, especially on the lower ranges (afterwords it would show 10x,100x, etc.)It would have been nicer had it shown the actual amount on the readout within a particular range rather than having to multiply it by one of the factors. I should emphasize that the above quibbles are very minor and that the meter performs it's functions very well. The meter is well built and the rubber casing and sensor cover afford it excellent protection. Both the sensor and main unit are light weight and easy to grip. The readings I got were consistent time after time.I think that for the money it's an excellent buy and superior to most others on the market in its price range or even some higher priced ones. I would recommend this meter for anyone who wants a reliable meter that covers a great range and is very affordable. ... show more
