Digital camera reviews of Oregon Scientific UV888A Personal UV Monitor with Exposure Timer
Digital camera Review: Doesn't Appear to Measure UVA
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had skin cancer & I use this meter to check general UV intensity - indoors, outdoors, in the car, etc. It's handy & lightweight, but watchout - I don't think it measures UVA. I've used it to check my indoor halogen lamps & it is sensitive enough to pick up UV from those. It also gives much higher readings at high altitudes vs. sea level, as expected. But if this thing does measure UVA (which apparently doesn't get filtered out by sun angle like UVB), it should be reading higher than 0 when I place it in full summer sun at 7pm, especially in New Zealand. I wrote Oregon Scientific but they couldn't tell me which UV spectrums it covers. Shame, cuz it's soooo much cheaper than the commercial-use UV meters.
