## Overview

The Solarmeter Model 5.7 is a highly sensitive handheld digital radiometer designed to measure total UVA and UVB light (280-400 nm) with a range of 0-1999 μW/cm². Made in the USA, it features NIST Traceable accuracy, a long-lasting 9V battery, and simple one-button operation. Perfect for monitoring UV lamp intensity, testing UV blocking materials, and managing safe outdoor exposure, it’s an essential tool for professionals and health-conscious individuals alike.

## Description

The Solarmeter Model 5.7 is the ideal handheld device for testing the quality and aging of your UV lightbulbs. Check that brand new bulbs are up to par with manufacturing standards and track their aging to replace them as soon as they're not working the way they should. The Solar Meter Model 5. 7 Sensitive Total UV Meter measures the UVA+B region from 280-400 nm. Applications include monitoring PUVA therapy lamp intensity and aging, measuring outdoor UV, testing acrylic shield transmission, eyewear UV block comparison, and testing window film / tint transmission. The simple, one-hand operation of this device makes it easy to monitor UV light intensity levels to decide when it's best to do outdoor activities. It's an essential tool that helps anyone who suffers from xeroderma pigmentosum to check UV exposure and stay safe. Our light meter comes with a NIST Traceable Calibration Reference Card and runs on a single 9-volt DC Battery, which is included for your convenience.

Review: Works great but needs more user info - I just had cataract surgery and got a Light Adjustable Lens, which means I had to avoid UV light inside and outside my house or wear the special UV glasses inside and outside. Having this device helped me identify where UV came through windows and blinds so I knew if I had to have the glasses on. However, I needed to do my own research to figure out what it really did. This device measures microwatts per square centimeter (vs their other device that measures milliwatts per square centimeter). Microwatts are 1/1000 of a milliwatt so this device is much more sensitive. So if you need to be really careful about UV inside, this is the device for you! Plus you can just hold down the button and point it to see how much UV is getting through and you can keep the button depressed and move the device to get a range. desertcart showed this device as one that was frequently returned, and I’ll bet that’s because of the lack of user information that comes with the device.
Review: Very well designed and very sensitive - I’m not an expert on electronics, nor am I reptile keeper. I got it to check UV intensity in a hanger to make sure that the solar windows are adequately protecting fabric on an airplane. Outside measurements were in 1600 range when indoors it went to 70‘s, and under a tarp or a shield drop to 3 on a heavier cover and nine on an alternate. This is gibberish except for the fact that it test the theory that this is a very sensitive device. Probably could’ve gotten the standard one but this one meets the criteria for exceptional UV protection when you’re trying to make sure things don’t fade in your home because of UV exposure. Cannot address the reptile function that people talk about. That’s another topic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great but needs more user info

### ⭐ Feels cheap and no instructions
*by E***Y on April 29, 2025*

No instructions. This is suppose to give the UVa and UVb reading. When you push the button, it flashed a high number in the thousands and then switches to a low number. I don't know what either number means BECAUSE THERE IS NO INSTRUCTIONS. The device also feels cheap. I'm very disappointed - this isn't worth $250.
