Apogee QMSS-E still good for taking Par on Led's?

[juiceguy]

I been using my QMSS-E par meter to measure Par, is it still accurate for Led lights?

I don't see why not. PAR is PAR... It's definitely going to be more accurate than trying to eyeball it...

I agree, I only ask because the newer meters have a different light sensor than my model but on further research I found that there is a conversion factor of 1.08 so my Par will be more than what the meter is registering.

This is kind of fun..

I assume yours is an " electric" model
