I was looking for a DMM that could measure Ohms at a resolution <0.10 ohms.
I found this at my local Harbor Freight for less than $50 although I find it on the web sometimes listed for over $100.
Maybe it is the perfect meter for the Saturday Modder.
Mastech 5 in 1 meter, M82229

It is alarmed and has auto shut off which is necessary for me who leaves the meters on all the time.
Here is the key as to why it applies to an electronics thread for modding:
It measures:
Electronic parameters
temperature
humidity
sound
LUX !!!!!!!!
It looked like the ideal toy for Modding LED and Incan. I often need the data on Amps, Ohms, Temperature and LUX to build a good light.
I thought I could search CPF fairly well, but I am not finding any good ideas to use the LUX function on this meter.
:help:Can anyone suggest some good ideas to use the LUX feature? How do you build a good light box or use pure lux readings for comparison? What is the best way to take lux readings?
I often could use the temperature feature to work with NTC designs. Lux is going to tell me whether I reached that magic number and the electronics are obvious.
Do you think this is a reasonable toy to use with the throws of flashaholism?
BTW- Anyone suggest a reasonably priced meter that can get me milliohmn readings?
