The item is easy to use. It has a cover for the sensor, comes with batteries, and the included booklet outlines how to use it. I was up and running in just a few minutes. One thing you’ll need to know – the battery compartment is underneath the rubberized wrap. You’ll want to pull it off to access that, but it doesn’t take more than a minute to get everything connected. The battery compartment is a bad design on an otherwise good product.
This product is pretty fantastic for the price. For under $40, I was able to consistently able to get good lux readings, so it does its job well. Once I finish building an integrated sphere, I think this product will help me get repeatable numbers.
Readings are consistently within the documented range (Accuracy ±3%, Repeatability ±2%). The meter comes with a 1 year warranty, though I hope to never need to try it out. If I do have any issues, I’ll come back and update the review.
I am an Amazon Prime customer that enjoys writing reviews as a hobby, so I ask vendors for products I want in exchange for an unbiased review. I strongly believe that’s my only obligation. When reviewing, I consider the items worth as it pertains to its full price. This review reflects my honest opinion of the product.
BUILD quality is good: sturdy plastics, rubberized buttons and a thick rubber bumper. It feels solid and confident in hand. The LCD looks like something from the 1980s (no gray scale or color) and lacks a backlight. The light sensor is under a translucent dome and attached to a coiled cable hardwired to the device. It might be a little too easy to snag the cable on something and damage it. A plug-in/replaceable cable would be preferable.
OPERATION: Peel off the rubber bumper, lift off the battery door and install a 9v battery (included). Squeeze the bumper back on and you're ready to rock. Hit power and point the dome at the light source. If it shows "1" on the LCD, that's Dr.Meter speak for "out of range." Press the range button to calibrate to a higher measure value. You have a choice of LUX or FC and can retain/stop metering by pressing the hold button. That's pretty much it. If you plan on comparing or recording a lot of data points, bring a pencil and paper. This is a barebones meter and has no data transmission or memory ability.
One thing I learned after metering my lights is manufacturer specs for CFLs are totally whack. In other words, Dr.Meter confirms what my eyes suspected: some 60W bulbs are brighter than 105W bulbs! So I need to balance lights by actual light output and not according to manufacturer specs. The other useful thing about this meter is I can record output of each light head from the subject's position, write it down, and precisely recreate the light balance of the set at a later date.
FINAL BLURB: All in a great meter for measuring light levels in studios, offices, stage sets and homes: easy to use, accurate and priced reasonably.

J'ai regretté que le mode d'emploi n'explique pas comment mettre les piles: j'ai mis tout un temps avant de comprendre qu'il fallait au préalable retirer la protection périphérique en caoutchouc orange et seulement ensuite dévisser le couvercle du compartiment piles, en partie inférieure du dos de l'appareil.
