PAR meter for hire?

[fatoldsun]

Anyone down south have a PAR meter they'd be willing to loan out for a small rental fee? I'm curious what my new lights are putting out thought I'd ask around before I try and buy one for a one time use.
Thanks....

Where you located? What kind of lights do you have?

 

[fatoldsun]

I'm in moorestown - 08057. Lights are DIY LEDs.

anyone??:anyoneI'm more than happy to "rent" it if you have it.

I have the seneye but I don't think you are too close to me.

 

[fatoldsun]

Thanks but I'm hoping I can find someone close by. Very nice of you to offer though. Not a big deal really, I'm just sort of curious. How do you like the seneye? Maybe that would be a better investment than a straight-up PAR meter since it does several things.

Honestly I have not taken it out of the box yet. On my list of things to do, just down a couple of notches.

I also have the seneye the par meter is great the temp is accurate to within a degree and the ph is close but I wouldn't trust it to be accurate enough to not test too..

I was also thinking about a par meter. Does it have to be hooked up to the computer to get a reading? I would love to get some par readings!

It does need to be hooked up to the computer for par. It's also very sensitive to angles. Readings vary widely if you're not perfectly flat.

So i guess it hasn't improved much since it came out last summer

Anyone ever try just hooking up an apogee sensor to a volt meter instead of buying a par meter? I came across a thread on RC about this a few weeks ago. I may try it one day.
