UT383 Light Meter Digital Illuminance Meter Lux Meter | 0~199,900 Lux (0~18,500 FC) Foot Candles Luxmeter for Film Photography Plants Photo

Works great no problems, has been very helpful growing seedlings indoors this year

This light meter is very nice! It's simple to use, with an easy system that lets you read light intensity with either lux or footcandles. It only has four buttons on the front that are very straightforward, with the settings allowing you to change the units of measurement, a hold setting, and min/max to hold the reading on the highest or lowest amount. You can also switch on the backlight with the hold button, which is really handy for low-light settings. If you're using this for photography, it doesn't have the ability enter in your camera settings like a much more expensive Sekonic light meter, but for the price, it's worth doing the basic conversion formula to figure out exactly the right settings. If you're doing film photography on an older camera without the automatic settings adjustment like a traditional medium or large-format camera, this would be a great, affordable option that costs about as much as a pack of film and is going to give you a significantly better exposed image if used correctly. I took some film photography courses in college, and something like this would have been hugely helpful if I kept it in my bag. The device itself seems to be very well-made, as well. The sensor and body seem to be built to withstand a bit of knocking around, and I don't expect that regular usage would result in it being damaged enough to impact usability. My one gripe with this light meter is the battery configuration - 3 AAA batteries is a bit odd. Thankfully, it includes batteries, but I would have much preferred a meter that takes 2 AA batteries, even if it meant it would be a little wider. Overall, I really like this light meter. For the money, its readings are fast, accurate, and simple, and it seems much better quality than many of the cheaper options on Amazon. Highly recommend!

Works well for houseplants

This does what it should. It's easy to use, and seems consistent with its readings. It's an invaluable tool when keep house plants, because in some cases my plants were not getting enough light, which I did not expect. It's worth the price.

Seems to work just fine. Controlling your light intensity is very important.

Accurate stable readings you can depend on. I use it for general photography LED lights measurement, except for flash photography.

I purchased this instrument when a club I belong to was concerned their lighting wasn’t up to standard. I thought this will give us a “ball park” measurement and then we will need a better more expensive instrument. This little meter proved to be incredibly easy to use, made very repeatable measurements, and showed an accuracy way better than expected. If you are looking for a good, reliably accurate light meter to use around your facility this is a great choice.

Works well and easy to use.
