Description:
UV detector is designed for daily personal use to measure the strength of the sun's radiations relative to different hours of the day, or relative to different days at the same hour.
detects solar UVA (320-400 nm) and solar UVB (290-320 nm). UV light meter improves the quality of your life by measuring the strength of the sun's UV rays on a given day so you can decide what protection you need to wear that day and how long it is safe to stay outdoor.
With this handheld ultraviolet light strength tester you can check the efficiency of sun protection provided by your sunglasses, car or window glasses, hats, clothing and window's sunscreen or UV filters.
solar light meter is easy to operate - Press the UV Check button to read the UV index (index ranging from 0 to 12+, in 0.5 steps) by pointing the UV light sensor toward the sun.
