Review: PERFECT! --- See within: LED lighting vs. LED grow lights. - This meter is excellent! It works perfectly and is superb. I purchased in 2017. After reading reviews from 2012 the supplier has upgraded based on feedback. Kudos!!! (Sensor cover and case clasps are two examples of fixes.) There is a lot of back and forth chatter in reviews and questions about whether this works for LEDs. They are missing the misunderstanding introduced by shorthand in the original question asked by some random closet grower. The answer to that: No, this is not a good tool to compare plant available light output between a new blue/red LED and an old HPS or MH full spectrum. At that task it will certainly fail. As it and any $5000 meter of this kind should. This is the wrong instrument. There is nothing special about LED light versus other types of light. It is all about the spectral response of the sensor head. The manual gives that response. I will try to add as a photo later. Overall a great sensor. Not only did it help me determine approximate light output if my home lettuce grow (yes, lettuce, not the other green) as one step to mitigate tip burn, but it also helped me identify some major problems with lighting setups at work.
Review: Extremely Good Meter if used for what its suppose to! - Ok I will try to be as honest and precise as possible so that this review helps as many people as possible. I would like to start by saying that if you are a photographer and are looking for a light meter, please don't be cheap and look for something that is the right tool for your job! Now for those of us folks that want it for that basic and some not so complicated applications; If you are growing your own food indoors or any type of plant using lights this is perfect! Weather you are using LED's, CFL's, T5's, HPS, or MH this meter can really help you maximize the growth of your plants. All you need is know how to use it, but if you are like me and hate instructions or find them confusing there are many videos on Ytube that will brake it all down for you! See Simple :-) Now the case it comes with is kinda cheap and the latches that keeps it close kinda suck, but the meter will be protected in there just don's expect it to fall from the shelf and stay close. All and all for the price of this meter and the many benefits that you can get out of it its really the best bang for the buck. Hope this helps!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to measure light pollution from out door lighting. Need accuracy below 1 lux eg (0.1 to 1 lux)**
A: From the instruction manual:Light-measuring levels ranging from 0.1 lux to 200,000 lux with auto zeroing and corrected for luminous efficiency function (manually calculated for non-standard light sources).Accuracy is described as: +- 3%+10dgt with a repeatability within 2%.ChuckJ

**Q: Yes this a goodlight meter for photographers ??**
A: I would not use it for photography.  There are many better meters to use for that purpose.  This meter is made for measuring foot candles and such and is useful for comparative light levels.  Gossen or other photo meters would do better and be directly viewable with the scales on such a meter.

**Q: Who manufactures the meter?**
A: The name listed on the case, and the meter itself, is "Dr. Meter", and it is titled as "Dr. Meter Digital Illluminanc...B, O-200,000 Lux Luxmeter" model LX1330B.  It shows a URL of "http.//www.drmeter.com".  It was mfg. in China, but a USA contact is "Dr. Meter, 30075 Ahern Ave., Union City, Cal., 94587, w/ a phone number of #510-477-0249, & Fax as #510-477-0749.

**Q: dose the Digital Illuminance Meter LX1330B 200000 Lux Luxmeter measure indicent and reflective light?**
A: The unit has a separate hand held photo detector that can be aimed at a light source or a reflective surface, so yes, it can measure both. In the room I am in now, I can aim the detector at the ceiling light and get a reading of 19 lux. By aiming the detector at a wall, the reading is 5.1 lux for a white wall and 1.3  lux for a dark wood door (all reflected  light, sensor aimed at the wall away from the light source). The sensor appears to be somewhat directionally sensitive, so if it is not aimed  directly at the ceiling light, the reading is somewhat less. The manual claims "..fully cosine corrected for the angular incidence of light." I don't know exactly what this means, but the highest readings appear to be directly under the ceiling light. Overall, this instrument works great and was a good buy. By the way, you can make your own light meter by simply buying a CdS photo cell at your local Radioshack store and hooking it up to a volt meter, set in the ohm resistance range. As the light intensity varies, the CdS cell's resistance changes. The CdS cell isn't quite linear, but still will give you relative light intensity readings. Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use and accurate
*by P***Y on May 19, 2015*

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.
