The Solarmeter Model 6.2R is the ideal handheld device for testing the quality and aging of your UVB lightbulbs. Check that brand new bulbs are up to par with manufacturing standards and track their aging to replace them as soon as they're not working the way they should. The simple, one-hand operation of this device makes it easy to monitor light levels inside your pet reptile's terrarium, making it easy to determine if your scaly friend is getting the light they need. Our light meters come with an NIST Traceable Calibration Certificate and run on a single 9-volt DC Battery, which is included for your convenience. Review: Does the job - It is expensive, but it lets me know if my bulbs UVB is getting weak or not. It will eventually pay for itself and save me money. Review: Consistent UVB readings with the Solarmeter Model 6.2R and AquaHorti AH-UVCBA - I tested the Solarmeter Model 6.2R and AquaHorti AH-UVCBA side by side, both providing reliable and consistent UVB readings. As shown in the picture, the readings were nearly identical: 352 ยตW/cmยฒ from the Solarmeter and 353 ยตW/cmยฒ from the AquaHorti meter (with slight differences due to slight variations in sensor positioning). This confirms both meters are accurate and dependable for UVB measurement. Both devices are easy to use, and the display is clear and straightforward. If you're looking for a reliable UVB meter for your setup, I highly recommend either of these meters.

I didn't like it.
I bought this meter as a return from Amazon and it didn't come with any box or info on calibration warranty so I returned the unit.

A must
This tool is a must for keeping reptiles that utilize UVB. This one along with the 6.5R and you're set to know, not guess, that you're giving your animals proper UVB levels.

A must have for reptile owners
Best thing to purchase if you run T5 linear bulbs in your reptile enclosures, or any uvb bulbs. A must have for reptile enthusiasts, it is expensive but so worth it if you really cared about your reptiles and their health.
