Light Meter Recommendations?

[Keri_WW]

I'm in the market for an easy to use light meter, not necessarily the cheapest, nor the Cadillac version. Do you guys have any recommendations on a user friendly, yet fully functional device?

Thanks!!

Ideal makes one that is cheap and easy to use. It is a 68-681

Does the NEC speak about how many footcandles of light shall be needed for prep. areas, walk-in freezers, hood area, ect., in a restaurants?

I have a greenlee. Works pretty well....pretty easy to use. I think it was about $250.00 at grainger.....or somewhere thereabouts....

I bought one for around $60 from a hydroponics shop. It measures both FC and lumens.

Camera stores might have one for you too.
