PAR/light meter recommendations

This looks like the most promising spectrometer candidate, pretty good accuracy after calibration and gives pretty powerful HAL software with realtime results showing relative intensity and wavelength.

Im still going to get a PAR meter but this will help no end.
Thanks for the suggestions on everything guys

i did the light measurement thing..it was fun but did not help one bit..nah just learn to grow

and then just GROW<---
I've been playing around for a while (after it started feeling like a chore at times)

Its part of the fun for me now and id like a chance to play about a bit with some kinda metrics for me to look back on.

Edited to add: fancy sharing what equipment you used ?

Definitely keeping an eye open now lol.
Just kidding, even with a discount i think it'll be more than i can justify for just messing about.

https://www.cdiweb.com/Technical_Inquiry.aspx?title=Technical Inquiry Request for UPRtek PAR Meter PG100N&ProdId=618263&type=10411&pid=2040

UPRtex PG100N- this thing does everything. I haven't gotten to hook it up to a computer yet, but the hand hold feature and the screen are great. The only annoying this is the prestart test it does. There is a wifi card, a holder, a 10ft cord for the sensor and a nice case. Haven't checked on the discount, but if you are play with UV and other spectrum, this would be worth every penny.

having nothing below 380nm is not something i would call "does everything"
Didnt get a chance to look so thanks, Its got a bit of a price tag too lol, I've decided to go with a spectrometer and a cheaper meter.
Its only for playing and me trying to validate results I've had so can't really justify the big price tags.

you can get something like the older apogee 420 joint, then you can email apogee the spectrum you are measuring to get a correction factor from them so your numbers end up being pretty damn accurate.. Id figure plenty enough for measuring a grow room
