I am very pleased. It works well. I have a lanai in Naples Florida and wanted to determine how much effect the lanai screen had on the sun’s rays compared to direct sun outside of the lanai. I was easily able to determine that the full sun was reduced by 40% by my particular screening. It is easy to use and seems durable. For the price, I believe it is a good choice.

This does the job well for adjusting my grow lights. Don't trust the grow light manufacturers to tell you how much light your giving your ladies, use this!

If you want any type of semblance of accuracy use a PAR meter.
