Need Light Meter

[Ragin Cajun]

I need to buy a "good" light meter for some upcoming relighting work. Something in the $125 range. I have a very old GE pocket meter now. OK for rough work, but I need something better.

Which one do you use? Regrets? Pleased? Suggestions?

Thanks,

RC

I use the Extech Instruments Easy View 30 Light Meter. Decent price and does all I need. Its a bit over your budget though. It takes cosine corrected measurements which is a plus.

I bought one for egress-lighting checks for about $65 at a hydroponics store. It reads in both FC and lumens.

I have this but it is also for photo & video so a bit of over-kill:
