Your cart is empty.The Solarmeter Model 6.5 UV Index Meter provides instantaneous UV index measurement and is also used for UV index comparison, monitoring reptile lamp intensity and aging, monitoring UV lamp intensity and aging, and UV index tracking over time. The simple, one-hand operation of this device makes it easy to monitor UV light intensity levels to decide when it's best to do outdoor activities. It's an essential tool that helps anyone who enjoys sports, running, swimming, surfing, and hiking to check UV exposure and stay safe. Our light meter comes with a NIST Traceable Calibration Reference Card and runs on a single 9-volt DC Battery, which is included for your convenience. The Solarmeter Model 6.5 is not a medical instrument, but rather an affordable scientific instrument designed to help you avoid sunburn by providing an instantaneous UV index value.

I have a weather station in my yard with a UV meter. The readings on the weather station match the Solarmeter. I checked multiple times during the day. The Solarmeter has a calibration certificate, so that makes me confident my weather station is accurate.I used this to check sunglasses and clothing that claim to block UV actually work, and they do.It only displays the reading while you hold down the button. When you release the button, the reading is gone. I wish it had a hold function for times when it's not convenient to look at the display while taking a measurement.For instance, I'd like to take a sun measurement, then cover the meter with a shirt, and see if it goes to zero. But I have to keep the button held down, so when I remove the shirt I'm measuring direct sunlight again. It's easy enough to get around that, but a hold function would be nice. It still rates 5 stars.

I purchased a solar meter to measure UV radiation. I have melanoma and my doctor told me I must protect myself from sun exposure. I had questions so I called the company before I placed my order. John took my call, he was very helpful and kind and he answered all my questions. I received the meter a few days after placing my order. The solar meter is exactly as described on the Amazon page. I immediately started taking UV radiation readings and identified areas where I can be safe and areas where I must use protective clothing or sunscreen. This meter will be an valuable tool to help me avoid further skin damage and cancer risks.

I haven't had a chanced to do much with it, but it seems to work fine. I was a little surprised that there was just one button that you had to keep pressing down on to get a reading, and apparently no memory cache to hold the reading. But looking at other solar UV meters, this seems to be the standard, so I suppose there is no reason to single this instrument out. It was made in the USA, which may be of importance to customers who believe in maintaining a North American manufacturing base in these sorts of products.

Couldn't get this to register anything other than 0.00. Total waste.

Works great, I use it to keep tabs on reptile UVB bulb output.

It’s extremely accurate which I value with my chameleon and bearded dragon. It’s expensive but the reptile community all had the same opinion on this particular one with accuracy so I took the plunge. I’m glad I did

Very easy to use and arrived in immaculate condition. My only concern was the calibration of it hadn’t been kept up to date. The calibration date expired in May 2018. I wasn’t aware that this had to be done on an annual basis before.
