Par meter?

[tmcca]

I’m looking to get a par meter that is good for led light but not a lot of money. Suggestions?

Do you want one to keep or do you plan to just use it once? Many LFS have ones for rent.

BRS "rents" them as well. I think you purchase the unit then return it within 60 days and pay a $100 restocking fee.

Lot's of local reefers rent/trade theirs for rental. I lend mine out for 7 days for $50 paid to my LFS that I intern use for store credit. Keep the machine going...

I probably like to keep it.

Never heard of that one before. Good price and measures PAR and Spectrum, Nice!

I've seen the parwise in action, seems legit from the app and the way it picked up the reading of different frequencies.

I bought the 510 from premium aquatics I guess it’s on sale. I’m guessing you need the wand as well

I made my own wand out of PEX for the same unit

I think it's a great tool when switching lights or adding more lights to know where you are for color/par.
