I hope this is the right thread! I picked this over "General Flashlight Discussions?!
I am seriously considering a "Light Meter". I looked at Three models of the EXTECH, EA30/31/33? Each with progressively higher pricing and different capabilities of "Foot Candle" max. measurements.
This is where I am not clear! I know a few members about 6 or 7 months ago explained it a bit and gave me a formula how to convert to CD's and the most accurate way to do the test but I forgot!.
For the EA33 it has 99,990Fc [999,990cd]. That tells me you just multiply the Fc by 10 to convert to CD's?
Would the EA31 with 20,000Fc in Four ranges and 20,000lux in Four ranges be able to measure a TK61vn~622Kcd? Or a TN31mb certified at 470Kcd?
The EA30 States 40KFc to 400KFc for ~ $180
I would PREFER to get the EA30[$180] or EA31[$150] if it could measure ALL my lights from the PD12vn to the TK61vn!
The EA33 is listed at $280.
From what I remember it is best to measure from at least 10m. 15m or 20m may be even better[more accurate]!
Looking to spend $150 to $180,,,really do NOT want to pay $280 for the EA33!
Simple formulas and suggestions to best fit my budget and the capability of measuring my throw monsters petite[PD12vn] and large[TK61vn] would be appreciated! :thumbsup:
