I am thinking on getting the Daño Plus PAR meter.

Does anyone has experience with this PAR meter?? I heard there is a correction favor bot some say is + 20-30 others say multiply by 1.7-1.8.
Thanks

I have one (Danoplus). I go with 1.25x factor after direct comparing to Apogee MQ-510.
*I'd guess that there's likely unit-to-unit variation on these budget meters

Here's one of my old posts with a longer explanation, if interested:

Very happy with the Parwise meter. I like the spectrum feature it provides. Its very close to the MQ-510 in par levels.
This is the Giesemann 12.K 400 watt halide on my growout system.

I have an apogee 510. Recently, I replaced my lighting fixture with Nicrew gen 2’s. I’ve been comparing my apogee reading to what google predicts based on the fixture percent output, mounting height, and measurement depth. Honestly, the google prediction is pretty close. Close enough for me. I find that quite fascinating.
