[BCMA] Light metre recommendations

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hey Erin,

I have only ever used Elsec meters, personally.  They generally sit a little higher on the price spectrum but the ones we have at the museum pre-date my arrival and they are still going strong.  They're easy to use and easy to read so I would recommend these for instant readings.  I'd also be interested in other people's experiences and recommendations.

Best of luck with your purchase.

Lauren

Hi everyone,

We are in the market for a light metre. One that just takes accurate readings - no logging or anything. Has anyone done research on this who'd be willing to share with me? Or you didn't research but have a great recommendation?

There seems to be a huge variation in price and I'm wondering if that equates to quality or not.

Thanks!
Erin
