I'll guess it is an Apogee meter. Li-Cor quantum meters are pricey, and Spectrum Technologies' meters haven't gained any traction in the hobby.
Yes, I googled Apogee and it definitely was this make. It looks like it was the blue MQ-510 model from pictures but I'll call and confirm later today.

Yes I confirmed today it’s an Apogee MQ-510.

OK, thanks - it's the MQ-510. As long as your sensor was vertical (I assume you used the optional wand, and the sensor was not handheld) I think you're OK. More light wouldn't hurt if acclimation is allowed but I don't think it's absolutely necessary.

Thank you for the confirmation!
