## Overview

The Solarmeter Model 5.7 is a handheld digital radiometer designed for ultra-sensitive measurement of total UVA and UVB light (280-400 nm) with a range up to 1999 μW/cm². Made in the USA, it features simple one-button operation, a durable compact design, and a long-lasting 9V battery. Ideal for monitoring UV lamp intensity, testing UV-blocking materials, and ensuring safe outdoor exposure, it offers NIST traceable accuracy trusted by professionals across medical, industrial, and personal safety applications.

## Description

The Solarmeter Model 5.7 is the ideal handheld device for testing the quality and aging of your UV 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 Solar Meter Model 5. 7 Sensitive Total UV Meter measures the UVA+B region from 280-400 nm. Applications include monitoring PUVA therapy lamp intensity and aging, measuring outdoor UV, testing acrylic shield transmission, eyewear UV block comparison, and testing window film / tint transmission. The simple, one-hand operation of this device makes it easy to monitor UV light intensity levels to decide when it's best to do outdoor activities. It's an essential tool that helps anyone who suffers from xeroderma pigmentosum to check UV exposure and stay safe. Our light meter comes with a NIST Traceable Calibration Reference Card and runs on a single 9-volt DC Battery, which is included for your convenience.

Review: Works great but needs more user info - I just had cataract surgery and got a Light Adjustable Lens, which means I had to avoid UV light inside and outside my house or wear the special UV glasses inside and outside. Having this device helped me identify where UV came through windows and blinds so I knew if I had to have the glasses on. However, I needed to do my own research to figure out what it really did. This device measures microwatts per square centimeter (vs their other device that measures milliwatts per square centimeter). Microwatts are 1/1000 of a milliwatt so this device is much more sensitive. So if you need to be really careful about UV inside, this is the device for you! Plus you can just hold down the button and point it to see how much UV is getting through and you can keep the button depressed and move the device to get a range. desertcart showed this device as one that was frequently returned, and I’ll bet that’s because of the lack of user information that comes with the device.
Review: Very well designed and very sensitive - I’m not an expert on electronics, nor am I reptile keeper. I got it to check UV intensity in a hanger to make sure that the solar windows are adequately protecting fabric on an airplane. Outside measurements were in 1600 range when indoors it went to 70‘s, and under a tarp or a shield drop to 3 on a heavier cover and nine on an alternate. This is gibberish except for the fact that it test the theory that this is a very sensitive device. Probably could’ve gotten the standard one but this one meets the criteria for exceptional UV protection when you’re trying to make sure things don’t fade in your home because of UV exposure. Cannot address the reptile function that people talk about. That’s another topic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great but needs more user info

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well designed and very sensitive

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Provides an accurate UV measurement
*by L***S on October 13, 2024*

I purchased this to determine when I need to close my balcony doors (double pane glass that significantly reduces UV rays) when working in my office near the door. My other concern is to reduce damage to flooring, furniture and the like. My home has a lot of sunlight from the balcony and windows. Although this meter provides a combined reading, it does not separate out the UVA and UVB rays; I have not found a meter in the price range that does. Overall it does the job, even though it is pricey for what it does. Again, have not found a comparable meter for a lower price range that I would be wiling to purchase. Some suggestions for improvement are as follows: 1. Dual UV Measurement (UVA and UVB): The meter should measure and display both UVA and UVB separately and as an aggregate (it does the aggregate now) 2. UV Index Measurement: Integration of the UV Index scale, which rates exposure risk from 0 (low) to 11+ (extreme). This makes it easier to understand when protection is needed, e.g., applying sunscreen, covering furniture, etc. 3. Portable and Durable: For outdoor activities and everyday use, it should be lightweight, portable, and rugged enough to handle various weather conditions, especially if used frequently in direct sunlight. 4. Data Logging (nice to have): For long-term monitoring, the ability to log UV data over time can help track trends 5. Water Resistance: For outdoor use it should be water-resistant Right now, it is fine for checking your UV lamps and for my purpose of protecting myself and loved ones and furniture from solar damage. A lower price point would make it a better deal! If most of the recommended features were included at the current price, this product would earn a 5 star rating!
