does what it says on the tin.

Works well, very sensitive if conditions not stable but very accurate. The display is easy to read and the meter part can swivel round which is very handy!

As a photographer I have never owned a light meter and have always dialed in my exposure using tethered tools but for the purpose or reviewing lights and also in an attempt to be quicker setting up, I thought its about time I try one. This is a relatively basic light meter with some slightly confusing additional features. Yes, it measures light, but also temperature and humidity. I don't know why but il just say that you can measure temperature in centigrade or Fahrenheit and then move on. - The head swivels which is more useful that I expected so I can take a reading but not getting in the way of the light. - Light can be measured in Lux or Footcandles. No f-stops unfortunately - The min / max function is useful to measure and display a peak or trough output. I have found this especially useful when working with flash photography because the duration is too short for you to actually see the reading without it. - Setup is easy and they give you the 3x AAA batteries you need but why they screw the battery cover closed instead of clipping it shut is beyond my comprehension ** Summary ** A useful addition to my bag with the only down sides being the lack of F-stop readout and a battery cover that requires a screwdriver to access. Very decent value for money.

I purchased a couple of these for emergency light testing in social housing m. Very easy to use, has a big back lit screen and my engineers like them.

Nice bit of kit, does what its supposed to do without complication. Its quite useful having the temp and humidity readings too.

Easy to use, easy to see at night and seems very accurate

This product is of great design and far superior to some of the cheaper models- highly recommended

Very easy to use straight from the box and works perfectly.

タイトルの通り工場監査の作業環境の照度確認に使用しています。実照度、照度ムラ、光源の影響を確認していますが必要十分に測定できています。 反応速度もこの使用方法では十分に対応できていますし、照度も閾値が800Luxなので挙動も安定しています。 今では部内で貸し出し名簿を作成し、各担当者が世界中に持ち出して活躍させています。

Strumento molto maneggevole, ergonomico alimentato da ben tre batterie AAA per una maggiore autonomia, Controllato con luxmetro di precisione, posso dire che ilTop Tes 710 è sicuramente ben entro i limiti previsti. Ottima la retroilluminazione che ne facilita l'uso ed è pure estremamente pratica la testina rotante. Concludendo ritengo che questo strumento sia altamente da consigliare, anche in relazione al prezzo estremamente conveniente, che lo pone ben al di sopra delle aspettative. Ernesto Franchini.

I received the TopTes TS-710 Light Meter yesterday and unboxed this morning. It comes with Operation Manual and a Protective Cover for Sensor. The buttons were fairly intuitive so I switched to Lux to test it out. The back-lighting is also nice and I like the rotating sensor. I placed my phone with Light Sensor App next to this dedicated sensor and pointed in same direction. My phone light sensor would jump around while the TopTes settled into a reading. I then tested a couple LED bulbs with the TopTes and it worked great. My ultimate test is to measure my LED lights strung around my pool enclosure because neighbor complained so I put them on a Dimmer but want to obtain some Foot-Candle Measurements. Update: I've measured the Foot-Candles at my Property boundary (next to my Neighbor) and it measured 0.3 Foot-Candles with No LED Dimming and 0.1 Foot-Candles with LED Dimmer set to 50%. The Florida Statutes aren't very clear in this area but I did see mention of 0.2 Foot-Candles maximum at the Property boundary so I'm now compliant and will leave my Dimmer set to 50%. I also used the TopTest TS-710 Light Meter to gauge the Lumens for each 1 Watt LED bulb; at full intensity (no Dimming), they were spec'ed at 80 Lumens. I measured 82 Lux (Lumens) straight out but this fell off going towards top and bottom of bulbs. Hence, the actual Luminosity of these 1W LED Bulbs is probably more on the order of 40-60 Lumens (a measure of total light emitted in a sphere around the bulb). Great Light Meter and very pleased.

Gute Verarbeitung. Werte sind in Ordnung. Ist auch einfach zu benutzen

Works well. I bought it for my indoors plants, to know where they needs supplemental lighting. Now, I finally can grow plants indoor wothout killing them. 1 little downside: the head rotate only on 1 side, so sometimes you need to put it in an awkward position to take the reading.
