Digital camera reviews of Oregon Scientific UV888A Personal UV Monitor with Exposure Timer
Digital camera Review: Save yourself from Sunburn
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this before our trip to Florida because my 1 year old is a red haired, blue eyed boy and I didn't want him to get burned. We all know that you need to apply sunscreen before going to the beach but using this monitor to check the UV index showed that it would only take 10 minutes for him to burn so even just walking around the block would have been enough. For the first time ever I went to Florida and came back without a sunburn but a nice tan.Digital camera Review: Seems to Work Well
Summary: 4 Stars
I love gadgets so I could not pass this up since I live in the desert of So Cal. I have used it only to measure how bad the UV is on a given day and give me an idea what the risk is. I did not use the timer to push my exposure. It has a count down timer for how long you can be exposed based on the current UV measured. I always use a hat and sunshine when in the sun for more than a few minutes so I don't rely on the timer. (You can sure see the difference in UV levels from early morning to noon). The unit is suppose to allow you to select skin type, but I can't seem to be able to set it. It is why I did not give it 5 stars.Digital camera Review: UV Monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product. I have some skin problems and my dermatologist wants me to limit my exposure to UV. This little device gives a reading of the UV intensity. It is small and easy to carry around. It reads if the UV is extreme, high, medium, or low and gives the number of minutes you can safely stay in the sun. It helps me win the arguments with my wife when I want to go for a bicycle ride in the evening. I can pull out the meter and show her the be UV level is very low and that it is safe.Digital camera Review: don't get sunburned
Summary: 5 Stars
excellent device for preventing sunburn and other skin disorders. a must if you burn easily or go to an unfamiliar site.Digital camera Review: your common sense measure UV index better than this one
Summary: 1 Stars
the product we got is defective. the liquid display can only show partial of the digits. If you try to measure uv index behind window glass, it always shows 0, no matter how strong the sun is, which doesnt make sense to me.
As for the UV index measurement, it always show me 2 levels below what the weather forecast says and it doesnt tell you more than what your common sense can tell you.
