Light meter recommendations

[rscanady]

All,
Would appreciate any feedback/opinions on light meters you have or have used, I will be buying one soon (to start quantifying mods), would like to stay around $100, thanks

My Watt Stopper FX-200 should show up today, so I'll let you know what I think /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

It was under $55 shipped from Ebay.

modamag has a group buy on Meterman for $77 + shipping

I bought an Ideal-Sperry Model 61-681. As far as I can tell, it's the same meter as the Meterman (I think both Ideal-Sperry and Meterman are owned by Fluke), but it comes with NIST ISO-9001 certification. With the certification my local cost was $148.

Hello Ryan,

I have the Extech EA30 and am very pleased with it.

Silver, How much was it?

Get an Extech 401020 for $60, and a Radio Shack PC interface multimeter for $60, and you have a recording luxmeter for those runtime plots, and a recording DMM for only $120.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, I'm going to hit the local electronics store to check out the extech model, and if not happy probably get in on the group buy from Modamag, also just finished putting together my M@g85 and Holy Crap that thing is scorching, it puts my E2E to shame, i love it like my own child (well not really that much), but this thing is AWESOME!
