Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

A relatively inexpensive light meter. It has a tethered cap, a tripod socket on the back, and a double-secured battery door.

Works great, sensitive, durable and very affordable. Seems to be well made and durable. This meter has a great reputation and delivers good service.

The readings are shown on the lcd display in a large font. The cosine and color corrected sensor is an improvement. It is extremely accurate, as i periodically test it against another digital meter and a manual needle meter used in photography.

The lt505 is a good, accurate, general-purpose meter. The data logging is good for unattended recording.

It has its own carrying case with a belt loop that is stitched in place so doesn't come off. Includes batteries, and has the ability to recall low, high, and average readings.

Cons

Be careful when using the back-light button and load button. Unfortunately, the quality is suspect on this equipment.

Dont spend the extra money for more expensive devices

Competitiveness

I compared this unit for stability under indoor lighting next to my international light photometer

I like that extech is owned by flir the company that makes infrared viewing instruments

The extech drifted significantly more than the other meter

But i have one such unit and everytime i compare the readings of both machines they are deadon with each other
