Light intensity meter

[Old Blue 66]

Does anyone use a light intensity meter? I think a tool that shows the lack of candle power when HL's are hazed over could be a powerful tool. Suggestions? If you have one what do yo use?

I found one the web for around $70

Thanks

Theres a video on this this site about the product. It can be used in the daylight too.

Google Symtech and look for the AIM 200. Apparently we are not supposed to post links on the forum.

Thanks for the info, have you used this light meter ?? also what is the normal reading and what would be considered bad ??

Most headlights should fall into the range of 100,000 - 150,000 Candelas. The typical headlight should reach as far as 150 feet.

Units of measurement are in LUX or in Foot Candles. You can use what ever you want to measure.

How accurate would it be in the day time. also that website does not give the readings that you said, do you use one ??

I talked with the company. They said its fully accurate in the daylight. I do not have one yet.
