It's simple to use, with an easy system that lets you read light intensity with either lux or footcandles. It only has four buttons on the front that are very straightforward, with the settings allowing you to change the units of measurement, a hold setting, and min/max to hold the reading on the highest or lowest amount. You can also switch on the backlight with the hold button, which is really handy for low-light settings. If you're using this for photography, it doesn't have the ability enter in your camera settings like a much more expensive Sekonic light meter, but for the price, it's worth doing the basic conversion formula to figure out exactly the right settings. If you're doing film photography on an older camera without the automatic settings adjustment like a traditional medium or large-format camera, this would be a great, affordable option that costs about as much as a pack of film and is going to give you a significantly better exposed image if used correctly. I took some film photography courses in college, and something like this would have been hugely helpful if I kept it in my bag. The device itself seems to be very well-made, as well. The sensor and body seem to be built to withstand a bit of knocking around, and I don't expect that regular usage would result in it being damaged enough to impact usability. My one gripe with this light meter is the battery configuration - 3 AAA batteries is a bit odd. Thankfully, it includes batteries, but I would have much preferred a meter that takes 2 AA batteries, even if it meant it would be a little wider. Overall, I really like this light meter. For the money, its readings are fast, accurate, and simple, and it seems much better quality than many of the cheaper options on desertcart. Highly recommend! ## Features - UNI-T professional digital illuminance meter UT383. Effectively measures light intensity and display results in units of Lux or FC.
