Works very well. Review: Easy to use and accurate - I'm a photographer and videographer and shoot in a studio with CFLs in softboxes. I wanted a method of quickly measuring the output of light heads and CFLs. And Dr.Meter seems to be just what the doctor ordered. 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. ## Features - High Precision & Fast Response: This high-precision illuminance meter delivers lightning-fast readings 2 times per second, ensuring you get accurate light intensity data—perfect for creating the ideal growing environment for your plants. - FC/LUX Conversion: FC or LUX? The Power is in Your Hands! Effortlessly toggle between FC and LUX to measure light intensity in the unit that suits your gardening needs—precision made simple. - PEAK Data Recording: Instantly lock in and display the highest light pulse value with a single press of the PEAK button—perfect for measuring lightning, laser beams, and other brief high-intensity sources. - Low Battery Alert: Stay powered, stay prepared! A handy + - symbol appears when the battery runs low, so you’ll always know when it’s time to swap out the 9V battery and keep your light measurements going strong. - Versatile Usage: Ready for any setting! Whether indoors or outdoors, this meter is perfect for homes, offices, factories, or measuring sunlight intensity to create the perfect environment for your plants to thrive. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005A0ETXY | | Batteries | 1 9V batteries required.

Need accuracy below 1 lux eg (0.1 to 1 lux)** A: From the instruction manual:Light-measuring levels ranging from 0.1 lux to 200,000 lux with auto zeroing and corrected for luminous efficiency function (manually calculated for non-standard light sources).Accuracy is described as: +- 3%+10dgt with a repeatability within 2%.ChuckJ **Q: Yes this a goodlight meter for photographers ??** A: I would not use it for photography. There are many better meters to use for that purpose. This meter is made for measuring foot candles and such and is useful for comparative light levels. Gossen or other photo meters would do better and be directly viewable with the scales on such a meter. **Q: Who manufactures the meter?** A: The name listed on the case, and the meter itself, is "Dr. Meter", and it is titled as "Dr. Meter Digital Illluminanc...B, O-200,000 Lux Luxmeter" model LX1330B. It shows a URL of "http.//www.drmeter.com". It was mfg. in China, but a USA contact is "Dr. Meter, 30075 Ahern Ave., Union City, Cal., 94587, w/ a phone number of #510-477-0249, & Fax as #510-477-0749. **Q: dose the Digital Illuminance Meter LX1330B 200000 Lux Luxmeter measure indicent and reflective light?** A: The unit has a separate hand held photo detector that can be aimed at a light source or a reflective surface, so yes, it can measure both. In the room I am in now, I can aim the detector at the ceiling light and get a reading of 19 lux. By aiming the detector at a wall, the reading is 5.1 lux for a white wall and 1.3 lux for a dark wood door (all reflected light, sensor aimed at the wall away from the light source). The sensor appears to be somewhat directionally sensitive, so if it is not aimed directly at the ceiling light, the reading is somewhat less. The manual claims "..fully cosine corrected for the angular incidence of light." I don't know exactly what this means, but the highest readings appear to be directly under the ceiling light. Overall, this instrument works great and was a good buy. By the way, you can make your own light meter by simply buying a CdS photo cell at your local Radioshack store and hooking it up to a volt meter, set in the ohm resistance range. As the light intensity varies, the CdS cell's resistance changes. The CdS cell isn't quite linear, but still will give you relative light intensity readings. Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality!!! *by S***Y on April 7, 2026* Very good accuracy, haven’t had it long enough to know how long batteries last but is a good size.

I found it easy to use although the directions might be a bit improved. For instance, putting in the supplied battery it's necessary to remove the rubber casing. The instructions said to slide off the battery cover in the direction of the arrow but there was no arrow and the cover wouldn't securely fit unless the rubber case was on. It took a little practice to figure out the scales since pushing the range button wasn't simply reflected on the LCD, especially on the lower ranges (afterwords it would show 10x,100x, etc.)It would have been nicer had it shown the actual amount on the readout within a particular range rather than having to multiply it by one of the factors. I should emphasize that the above quibbles are very minor and that the meter performs it's functions very well. The meter is well built and the rubber casing and sensor cover afford it excellent protection. Both the sensor and main unit are light weight and easy to grip. The readings I got were consistent time after time.I think that for the money it's an excellent buy and superior to most others on the market in its price range or even some higher priced ones. I would recommend this meter for anyone who wants a reliable meter that covers a great range and is very affordable. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dr.meter LX1330B Digital Illuminance Light Meter, 0-200,000 Measurement Range Lux Meter, Lighting Intensity Brightness Measurement for Indoor Outdoor, Light Meters for Plants - Light Meter Digital Illuminance Meter Handheld Ambient Temperature Measurer, Range up to 200,000 Lux, Luxmeter with 4 Digit Color LCD Screen --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/76196769-dr-meter-lx1330b-digital-illuminance-light-meter-0-200-000](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/76196769-dr-meter-lx1330b-digital-illuminance-light-meter-0-200-000) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
