I like this digital UV meter because it lets me know how strong UV light will be from many sources. For example, somebody says the halogen light at your desk has very strong UV. After I bought this meter, I measured UV light from halogen bulb, CFL bulb, LED light bulb, incandescent light bulb at home and know exactly how much UV light emitted from them with compared to the UV light from the Sun. In this way, I can avoid the source that emits very strong UV light.
This meter was built very well. It comes with a hard case although the hard case was not shown in the picture. The wand in this meter need a simple assembly by using five supplied screws but it is very easy. The measurement is very sensitive and the sampling rate seems high because I can see the measured value changes very quickly.
It totally met my expectations so I give 5 stars.
