Product Description

Amazon.com Review

As much as we might hate to admit it, it's not the same sun it used to be. Even cloudy or seemingly sunless days can cause eventual skin damage. The Tanita UV-Smart monitor can help you protect your skin in all conditions. Measuring both UVA and UVB waves in watts per square meter--a standard measurement for light--the handheld device delivers a separate numerical reading for each. To help you make sense of the numbers, the unit's LCD display also flashes a corresponding icon, signaling weak, medium, strong, or very strong exposure. Lightweight and small, the UV-Smart easily fits in your pocket, purse, or beach bag. Its simple locking mechanism protects the device's fine tuning and accuracy, and the display lets you know when battery power is running down. As an added bonus, the unit also features a digital clock mode, visible through a cutout window when the hinged casing is snapped shut. --Emily Bedard

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointed in this product, June 9, 2003
This review is from: Tanita EC-960-PW Monitors UV-A AND UV-B Ultraviolet Rays
We tested this in the Florida sun at 3:00 PM and got no reading of UVB output. We also tested this on new UVB bulbs coming out of the box that also gave a 0.00 output, we tested six of these and it was the same with all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sees about as much UVB as a shadow..., June 9, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Tanita EC-960-PW Monitors UV-A AND UV-B Ultraviolet Rays
Well, we got this to test out on the Powersun bulbs produced by ZooMed. These are mercury vapour bulbs used to give off essential UVB that reptiles require to process Calcium & Vitamin D3. These are industry standard bulbs for San Diego Zoo, as well as many other large zoos & educational establishments.

According to this little meter, none of our bulbs are giving off ANY UVB, neither are our flourescent UVB tubes. Apparently the sun's a little lacking in UVB too these days - even here in Sunny ol' Florida.

For 28 bucks, with the potential savings (if it worked) for a great many people, it was worth buying just to see if it was any good. Now I've actually seen how it works, it's worth about $3 for a neat lil digital clock. That's about it though.
