Photo bio what Bk said. But also the pulse pro is in that price range and has a cool spectrometer, and CO2 measurement as well as reporting and recording and reminders etc for grow stuff. It's a lot of device for the $$.

I am a bit of a cheapskate so I just bought a higher end Lumen meter and use HLGs LUX to PPFD conversion calculator. it has worked very well for me and saved me like 400 bucks.

I have a no name but Hydrofarm has one almost identical. Cost under $150. Checked it against my neighbor's expensive Apogee and it was within 5 of the Apogee. Recharge with a USB.

I gave in the neighborhood of $400 for mine… the pulse pro was not out when I purchased mine… but today if I was going to spend that kind of cash.. I would definitely go with the Pulse Pro for all the added features… but if you only need a good par meter..that Photobio is a quality meter at a good price point….I am only echoing what@bk78 and @MidnightSun72 are saying.

I just downloaded it and there isn’t even a free option for LED?
I forgot about that, I think it's six bucks for the iPhone? It's free on the android version but that's beta and needs work. It's accurate on the color temp of my light though, 3500k.
