Need a meter

[Kagha]

So I am looking for a good meter. Which one is easy to use and understand?
Thanks

[Rob]

there is only one brand worth getting, its called Solarmeter.
http://www.solarmeter.com/

you need a 5.0 to start
then a 6.0 then a 7.0, then your done.

They're all easy to "use" but hard to "understand" lol.

Still trying to teach you Mr Ed.

And Underhill too! Any questions?

Whereas a condom is easy to understand but dificult to use.

[solarmeter®]

Too-shay!

skip the 5.0, go to the 7.0 if just starting, as you can do almost everything you need to with the 7.0

Except see UVA browning rays...

tru-dat... but given the years of wisdom, steve, what is it you say... "if you need a meter and can only afford one, get the 7.0"

it would be nice to have all three, but I have yet to see a package deal on your site.. you know.. buy 2, get the 3rd for FREE!!
or get 25% off your second meter, 50% off the 3rd( since I own a 7.0 this would work for me) you know, help me graduate into meter geekdom with perhaps a scholorship of sorts or just generally a student discount as proposed above.

is there a meter that reads both UVA and UVB, or do you have to buy multiple meters?

[solarmeter®]

International Light, Solar Light Co, Gigahertz have meters that will do both... but they cost over $1000. Two Solarmeters are about $300. Take your pick.

[tibo]

do I hear 3 for $200 ??

[TropBrez]

which 2 do I need to get? sorry but i'm clueless...

[solarmeter®]

Why clueless? You haven't clicked on our banner and read the website?

Tibo: You sound like my Uncle Ernie in a furniture store! Sorry... we don't mark up meters 100% so we can offer "50% off" lol.

[tibo]

where he at... I wanna talk to uncle ernie...

What a cheap a$$!!!

Drop the $450 and get all three. It is the cost of a lamp change on one bed to know forever what all of your beds are doing. It will forever pay for itself in stopping premature lamp changing amongst other data.

Whiners for a deal are annoying. The price is what it is, suck it up.

yes I squeek when I walk... yes I was buckin for scholarship to geekdom U!! LOL, I would not part with my 7.0 for anything... I live for the weekly tests... but this thread started as what a newbie needs... and from experience (being a newbie) I found that it would be great to have all of them, but its hard to spend money on something you dont fully understand... so I suggest, mastering one at a time... works for me...

the rest of it was just some jovial (that means joke) jostling with the meter king steve... who has a sense of humor.... hopefully its a communicable disease!

However, whining for a discount is not communicable.
