going to end the mystery of light
 

I just cant take it anymore I have to know what I have.

We use Amprobe/Fluke meters and stuff like that at work. I asked the "probe guy rep" if he had light meters and of course he says we do :)

The Fluke was too expensive and more overkill than this one

Nice - definitely need this especially with indoor lighting setups. Let us know if you do any comparisons of different light sources. It's always nice to see more of that kind of data.

I'm saving up for one of these guys....but holy cow, I could probably just invest in some lights with that money and hope for the best!
