I use a digital one from Phytotronics and have had it for years. No need to
give a model number (PLM) cause it is most likely discontinued. Hanna also
makes some good ones. Avoid analog ones such as the GE as they slowly will
get out of calibration and you will not know it or have the means to
recalibrate it. Plan to spend over $100, I have never found a cheap model
that is anything but trouble. Things to look for in light meter; uses
common batteries, water tight, protective boot, reads in foot candles, light
source option, maximum light reading.

Another tool that you might consider is a meter that measures light
from various sources--daylight, HID, and flourescent. It was a real
eye-opener for me--I didn't have nearly as much light as I thought I
had.

Could someone recommend a good light meter?
