I used this to check sunglasses and clothing that claim to block UV actually work, and they do.
It only displays the reading while you hold down the button. When you release the button, the reading is gone. I wish it had a hold function for times when it's not convenient to look at the display while taking a measurement.
For instance, I'd like to take a sun measurement, then cover the meter with a shirt, and see if it goes to zero. But I have to keep the button held down, so when I remove the shirt I'm measuring direct sunlight again. It's easy enough to get around that, but a hold function would be nice. It still rates 5 stars.
It is also recommended by the Australian Government (ARPANSA).
