  • A DIY Lighting Tool Must-have
This instrument is super easy to use, and an invaluable aid to have at your disposal to better ensure satisfaction with lighting projects. We're designing a full kitchen remodel. We did a relatively deep dive into all the facets, i.e., cabinetry, appliance placements, plumbing moves, etc. In my long experience as a DIY'er I've come to recognize the line between the DIY and the Farmout project. Farmout or not, I've tried to know or educate myself enough to (at a minimum) be conversant with the contractor or trades about the work and especially expectations. Everyone (myself included) can understand & generally do plumbing, carpentry, tiling, flooring (sometimes!), painting, etc. work. Electricity and lighting work--well ... that's a lot different for most. The few brave venture there, but the rest of us--mostly punt. Lighting is even more mysterious. When it came time to look into lighting I hit the internet and did some self-learning. It's a well worth and doable exercise to 'smarten up' here. Because, you don't want to 'ruin' a remodel job when you finally flip the lights & are greeted by under/over-lit, dim areas, glare, etc. Fixes at this point can cost $$$$$. This tool is practically an indispensable aid in lighting design. And you can do yourself a great service by getting a little smart about lighting & acquiring this tool/aid. You'll be able to walk around your house and measure the "light intensity" with this light meter or experiment with bulbs/lamp to get some sense of what lighting levels you would like to achieve (whether it be in a hall, closet, bathroom, over-counters, utility room, bedroom, etc.). Knowing this, you can spec your desired lighting levels and leave it to your lighting designer to ensure an installation capable of meeting your expectations. ... show more

  • This is a Digital Light Meter not a photographic exposure meter
I find this inexpensive meter extremely useful for assessing lighting conditions at venues where I am taking photographs and videos. That said this is not a photographic exposure or flash meter and unfortunately if you are purchasing it as an inexpensive substitute to use for that purpose you will be disappointed. This meter gives you a simple to understand Lux reading corresponding to the brightness in the room. Our eyes are amazing self adjusting optical miracles... they compensate for conditions so much that we often have a difficult time judging just how light or dark conditions really are. Modern cameras and video cameras have sophisticated reflective light meters built into them and if used in an auto or semi-auto mode they will adjust the images we take for overall brightness. They will also predict whether the exposure will be under or over-exposed in manual as compared to a photo that is an even 18% gray. Very few people use traditional exposure meters these days. The problem for most is that if they try to take pictures or video in dimly lit areas without a flash or other external light source the camera (or you) can try to compensate with very slow shudder speeds, very high iso settings, along with the widest aperture your lens has available. It is decision making time as to how you are going to get your best results. Because of improved camera sensor technology this is less important these days than it once was, but this is still a recipe for pictures and videos that have poor image quality. I use the readings that I get from this light meter to help decide how to set up my equipment and/or adjust the lighting for the most satisfactory video of photo taking environment. One could accomplish the same thing by taking sample pictures and videos (which you most the time one has to do also), but I find the meter to be a time saver for initial decision making. I have a much more sophisticated and much more expensive photographic exposure meter. It is more complicated to set up and is overkill for this purpose most of the time, but this is the type of light meter that most photographers are looking for. This meter does only one thing... it measures the brightness of visible light and gives back a number representing either lux or foot candles. There are free android calculators and also charts that one can quickly convert these numbers into exposure settings, but this is not what this meter was designed to do. For novelty I have checked whether the readings are useful for this purpose and have had mixed results as compared to our actual photographic exposure meter. Since this is not what the meter was designed for you have to make adjustments to the results you get and the reflective meter built into the camera is more accurate. A modern photographic exposure meter has many more options in the way that light can be measured and gives it much more flexibility. The one I have has inputs and attachments for spot metering and flash metering. Of course it also automatically calculates recommended exposure settings. In my opinion this is a great meter and for me it has been a big time saver for assessing and adjusting the lighting conditions at an event where one I have set up video or photographic equipment. But... this is NOT a photographic exposure meter. While both are built up from similar sensors they are not the same tool. This cannot accomplish many of the tasks one purchases an exposure meter for such as setting up flash equipment. If you are trying to fine tune the results you get from your camera this is not going to help much if at all. I hope that is a helpful explanation and also explains why people have felt misled and others have said it is not suitable for photography. ... show more

  • Works.
It gives lux numbers and I’m assuming it’s accurate so all good.

  • Battery installation is tricky
The instructions just say unscrew the screw and install the battery. There is no picture. The trick is you have to REMOVE the orange protective case and THEN remove the screw at the BOTTOM (not top) of the case. Using is fairly straightforward. However, you will have to adjust the “Range” depending on the amount of light. No idea how accurate it is either. I suppose I could order another meter and compare. Good Luck!! ... show more

  • Good deal
This does exactly what it says it will do. If you are having any problems, maybe read the instructions.

  • Hard to know which is more accurate
After owning the Dr. Meter for 7-8 years, I bought a smaller meter which uses more convenient AAA batteries. Since they both give different readings for the same amount of light, I'm not sure which one is more accurate.

  • Easy to Use
Works great for determining where to plant things in my garden. It’s very easy to use and I store it in the case when not in use. Definitely recommend for gardeners.
