San Diego PAR meter rental

Hello,

Does anyone in San Diego or the surrounding area have a PAR meter they would be willing to loan me?

Thanks!

There has been a loaner program by somebody here on R2R.

I'm in Mission Valley and have an Apogee 510. No wand though.

Did you ever find one? Also in San Diego and would like to get my hands on one and stop "guessing"

Hello, I would also like to borrow a par meter, I will pay 50 bucks if someone has a Apogee MQ-510 or similar I can use

Nevermind, I bought an SQ-520 and it works great!! I got the 520 so I could measure full spectrum.

PAR at the bottom is ~64 at the top is ~290-320 so a little high, but I am swapping out a few of my white LEDs with 450nm blue. Once I do that, I'll use the PAR meter and adjust lighting so that at the peak, the PAR is 50 at the sand bed.
