UNI-T UT383 Light Meter Lux Meter Lumens Digital Illuminance Meter 0~199,900 Lux (0~18,500 FC) Foot Candles Luxmeter for Film Photography Plants Photometer Lighting Intensity Brightness Measurement

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!

EXCELENTE RPODUCTO.

Works exactly as described. Easy to use, and appears very well made. Much heavier unit than I expected for the cheapest light meter on Amazon. I'll only use this a few times so can't comment on durability other than as already mentioned.

Works very well. The only negative is that it's not very easy to read.

Easy to operate and give accurate readings. I use in my daily job and it has not failed me yet.

good

Battery lasts long. Pretty easy to use and I can find the manual online if i need it. Pocket sized af. Haven't tested the accuracy but it gives good enough ready for dyi-at home use.

Good quality product for the price. Will recommend.
