As an avid outdoors enthusiast, I find the UV Strength Tester a crucial companion for ensuring my safety under the sun. The device is capable of measuring the UV index from 0-20 in 0.5 increments of both UVA and UVB types, however, it’s important to note that it’s not designed to measure the UV light emitted by artificial sources like fluorescent, LED lights, or tanning beds.
The tester can be quite versatile, thanks to its wide range of uses. Whether I am inside or outside of my car, in my greenhouse, at home, or setting up camp, I can rely on it to check the efficiency of any sun protection I am using. This includes sunglasses, window glasses, hats, or even window screens and UV filters.
One of my favorite features of this UV-strength tester is the LCD display. It not only shows the UV index but also provides a 4-digit display for month, date, hour, minutes, and seconds, doubling as an alarm clock and calendar. It even has a 30-second alarm sound, adding to its functionality.
The portability of this device also deserves mention. Its compact size of 9.552 cm makes it easy to carry, and its ergonomic design fits comfortably in my palm. Plus, it comes with a strap attached to a built-in ring for those times when I need my hands-free.
Finally, as a solar light meter, it’s incredibly easy to use. I simply press the UV Check button and point the UV light sensor towards the sun to read the UV index from 0 to 12 in 0.5 steps. It comes with 2pcs 1.5V alkaline type button cells, and replacing the battery is a breeze once it runs out. This UV detector radiation checker has definitely become an essential part of my daily life, especially during the summer months.
