Save yourself from Sunburn,
By
This review is from: Oregon Scientific UV888A Personal UV Monitor with Exposure Timer (Electronics)
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.

Doesn't Appear to Measure UVA,
By Kay S (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oregon Scientific UV888A Personal UV Monitor with Exposure Timer (Electronics)
I use this meter to check general UV intensity - indoors, outdoors, in the car, etc. It's handy & lightweight, but watchout - I don't think it measures UVA. I've used it to check my indoor halogen lamps & it is sensitive enough to pick up UV from those. It also gives much higher readings at high altitudes vs. sea level, as expected. But if this thing does measure UVA (which apparently doesn't get filtered out by sun angle like UVB), it should be reading higher than 0 when I place it in full summer sun at 7pm, especially in New Zealand. I wrote Oregon Scientific but they couldn't tell me which UV spectrums it covers. Shame, cuz it's soooo much cheaper than the commercial-use UV meters.

Every cancer patient should have one of these!,
By
This review is from: Oregon Scientific UV888A Personal UV Monitor with Exposure Timer (Electronics)
It is becoming more obvious with each study that Vitamin D is crucial for maintaining health. Cancer patients are with alarming frequency quite deficient in Vitamin D, even in southern climes. People are afraid of sunburn and skin cancer and don't dare go out in the sun. This device measures UV exposure for 4 skin types and SPF - level 1 for no sunblock and on up. Once you input these two things, you are ready to go out safely in the sun, any time of day.Go outside, press a button, and the monitor tells you how long you can stay in the sun right then without having too much UV exposure. Press another, and it counts down the time for you and an alarm sounds when it's time to go inside. It's perfect for sunbathing, taking a walk, etc. It can be a little tricky to set up, but after that, this sturdy little measuring device is quite simple to use. I believe cancer centers should be giving these to their patients.
