A good choice if you need a luxmeter

Overall Rating:

Pros: + Very wide measuring range 
+ The carrying case is a very useful accessory (though it is made of cheap plastic)
+ Big display with big numbers (mine doesn't fail at the moment) though a backlight would be helpful
+ The tripod mount is very useful
+ Low price
 
Cons: - It comes without any instruction booklet so you cannot read the error codes when displayed
- A bit cheap looking
 
Other Thoughts: I use it mostly for measuring the output of my flashlights and it works fine. It reads lux twice a second and has a helpful memory button. The length of the wire is ok for me.
 
Bottomline: An affordable luxmeter. If you need one this is a good option.
 
					

Seems good, but QC problem

Pros: This meter is easy to use. It is well packaged, and the overall quality looks good
 
Cons: My problem is that on the second try, the meter lost one of the bars of the display. So I could not tell 0 from 8. I could press on the display and make it work. Since this thing is really good value, I opened it up, and found a circle marked in texta on the cct board. Pressing here solved the problem. Probably a bad cct connection or cracked board copper line.
What bothers me is that this was KNOWN. This was marked as a problem.
 
Other Thoughts: Good idea. I am not happy that this seems to be an unfixed seconds product.
 
Bottomline: This is  good buy. But I had bad luck in the lottery.
My question is: Do DX want to know about this problem? I know I get reimbursed for returns and they will replace, but I was waiting for this baby.
I am going to try to address the problem to allow me to get going, and let DX know.
For $28, I can live with buying another one if my "fix" does not work.
I am a bit disappointed.

Pros: - Pretty good build quality, especially considering the price.
- Comes in a nice storage box.
- Sensor/probe can be mounted on a tripod.
- Has a great measuring range, can measure direct sunlight!
 
Cons: - Backlight display would have been nice.
- It is a little bulky, not much though.
- No english manual.
- Could have had an even longer cord.
 
Other Thoughts: This unit has better build quality than my previous one and the probe cord is about 25% longer. It is more useable with a longer cord.
 
Bottomline: If you want a cheap and versatile lightmeter, this is the one to get.
