Good UV Meter

Good UV Meter
This meter measures UV light intensity -- in the spectrum range 290-370 nanometers.Let me be clear -- I'm not a scientist! When I first bought this meter, I didn't know what any of the above meant, since I just wanted something to let me know if it was OK to go outside (I'm trying to stave off skin cancers).Things to know (I learned from researching since buying this meter):1) You can't see UVB or UVA light, since they're not in the visible spectrum (400-700 nanometers).2) UVA wavelength (most dangerous for deeper skin cancers like squamous cell carcinoma and melanomas) ranges from 315-400 nanometers,3) UVB is 280-315 nanometers.During the middle of the day, if I point the handheld sensor at the sky, I get intensity readings upwards of 6000 microwatts/cm2. I figure if the reading is anything below about 100, I'm getting pretty negligible radiation.As far as the product: The user manual is hopeless for people who aren't scientists, however, the device is easy to use. You simply turn it on and point it toward a light source. It gives you a digital reading that instantly changes to match where you point it. I haven't used the memorize functions. I've only used it as a real-time monitoring device, and that works great. It came with a very durable and strong, shock-proof case, which makes me suspect it should be treated delicately.

1.0 out of 5 stars VERY DECEPTIVE ITEM DESCRIPTION; BE CAREFUL!
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2018
General Tools UV513AB Digital UVC Meter, 280-400 nm [THIS IS COPIED FROM THE ITEM DESCRIPTION]

I will return this item since the description of the item (copied and pasted above from the Amazon.com website today April 25, 2018 (also see a photo of the website description) does not match the item I received (see photos of item description on the packaging of the device received).

There is a deceptive variance!

As a novice to measuring UVA, UVB, and UVC, I read the description of the item on Amazon.com as a “UVC Meter.“ Perhaps others might fall for this description as I did. Most of us, I think, would believe that if something says it is a “UVC Meter” then that it means it is a UVC Meter.

The item received is only for UVA and UVB measurements. VERY DECEPTIVE.

How a seller can say that the item I received is a “UVC Meter“ is beyond comprehension and inexcusable! It seems like the description could be perceived as fraud, no?

In case another person is interested, Wikipedia says that UVA spans the wavelength of 315-400 nm. UVB spans the wavelength of 280-325 nm. This item, therefore will measure both UVA and UVB from 280 to 400 nm. I take it from other reviews that separation of UVA measurements from UVB measurements may not be possible. Check on that if it is important.

According to Wikipedia, UVC is measured at 100-280 nm, clearly well outside the capabilities of this item as described in its packaging.
