About this product

A pocket-sized meter that measures combined UVA/UVB irradiance from artificial and natural sources, with two ranges covering 1 to 3999 uW/cm2 and 0.01 to 40 mW/cm2 for both faint and strong sources. It is used for quick field checks of UV lamp output in research, industrial, electronic and environmental work. A cosine-corrected sensor accounts for light arriving at an angle so readings stay accurate regardless of how the source is positioned, and a data-hold function freezes the value for easy reading; basic accuracy is +/-5% of full scale.
