Active Eye Analog Light Meter

An inexpensive solution to test what your lights produce in terms of illuminance!

Photosynthesis and plant growth depend on the sun or specially-designed lighting systems. But of that light reaching the plant, only specific types of energy (in the lighting spectrum) driv the photosynthesis process. Since light is the most important single factor affecting your plants' life cycles, quality light meters are an essential tool in accurately determining if your crop is receiving the maximum light needed for healthy growth. A light meter allows growers an accurate means of adapting to their plants' needs as the light conditions change during a full growing season.

Specs:
• Identify best light level of healthy plants
• Easy to use hand-held design
• Get precise reading with two scales
• Includes instructions and "Consumer's Guide to Light Gardening" brochure
• Lifetime silicon sensor - no batteries required
• Read up to 5000 footcandles of sun, high intensity, or fluorescent light
• Exclusive "Zero" calibration feature - accurate to 2%
• Full two year warranty - the longest in the industry

Digital Light Meters For Terrarium PAR & Lux

▾ Show Price & Description ▾

NEHERP Staff Description

These are great entry level tools to meter brightness & PAR performance of specific lighting applications. We recommend them for hobbyists looking to get a realistic idea of how an untested light source is actually performing. The probe sensor on either model allows for taking PAR & Lux measurements in or out of an enclosure.

Light Meter PAR Meter

Light Meter Manufacturer Description

This product is a precision instrument used to measure illuminance (displays either footcandles or lumens). The meter is fully cosine corrected for the angular incidence of light, meaning that if you are not holding the sensor perfectly perpendicular to the light source, the sensor will still read the light correctly. The sensor is stable and made of a long-life silicon photo diode. The digital light meter accurately measures to 40,000 FC (430,400 lumens). The meter's built-in low battery indicator means you'll never be caught by surprise by a low-power product. Capable of measuring artificial or natural light. 3 measurement scales for easy & precise readings. Includes lifetime silicon cell (Lithium 3V CR2032) battery.

Light Meter NEHERP Description

Ours has been running for 6+ years without issue, but we strongly recommend being gentle with this unit for best results. Over the past 5+ years of selling these, the only occasional issue relates to pulling/stretching of the wires away from the base unit, which can crack solder points. Go easy, and it should last at least as long as ours has! The easy to replace battery tends to last for about two years or so or intermittant use. We haven't found a better Lux meter in this price range!

Light Meter PAR Meter

PAR Meter Manufacturer Description

Measures PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) flux in wavelengths ranging from the 400 to 700 nm. Fully portable handheld PAR meter with a highly accurate, integrated Quantum Sensor. Measures up to 10,000 μmol, and has a data logging capability using standard mini-USB cable and proprietary data logging software. The meter's built-in low battery indicator means you'll never be caught by surprise by a low-power product.

PAR Meter NEHERP Description

These PAR meters are some of the best sub-$200 units on the market, and they are a great tool for hobbyists looking to test their lighting. We used this meter a whole lot prior to 2016 before we made the investment & switched over to Apogee & Sekonic units for our product testing. ($400-$1000+) Full disclosure aside, these inexpensive units are extremely handy and we enjoyed using them for years. Like the other digital meter, we recommend not pulling/stretching the wire at the base of the unit for best results. Unlike the lux meter, this one has a rechargable battery (via USB).

Heat Resistant Aluminum Duct Tape

Heat resistant reflective tape with tons of uses

▾ Show Price & Description ▾

NEHERP Staff Description
Essentially the same heat resistant aluminum heat tape sold at hardware stores, only at half the price! In our hobby we use these most often for holding heat tape, heat cables, and heat pads in place. It's also useful for lining light fixtures to increase reflectivity. This is the same tape we've used to line our grow rooms with reflective coating material too, and it's held up very well over the course of the years. We've even heard a rumor about some people using it to fixing ductwork. :-)

High quality & thick 2 mil material, on a 30' roll.

Extension Cords

Heavy duty cables for jobs up to 1800W!

▾ Show Price & Description ▾

NEHERP Staff Description:
These heavy duty extension cords are great for tackling heavy workload tasks around your hobby or work room. The cord material is sturdy & built to stand up to all sorts of environments. Each cord is grounded and has a 3-outlet opening on the end. Made from thick 14 gauge wiring and rated for up to 1800W (15A), these would be comparable to "Utility/Contractor" cords rather than the more common 16/18 gauge household cords. Our prices are usually lower than most hardware stores for an equal gauge, equal length product. Labeled for indoor use only.

Lamp Stand

Fully adjustable metal stand for dome & wire fixtures

▾ Show Price & Description ▾

NEHERP Staff Description
This lamp stand features adjustable height, adjustable length, bendable wire-holding clips, and an all-metal construction. We've used these stands over terrariums, small-scale plant propagation projects, and on tabletop displays. They are great for suspending specialty lamps (UVB / LED Grow / Etc) over a desired surface, and the sturdy metal base holds everything tightly. The stand is adjustable in two directions from 20-38in tall, and 8-15in deep. Everything locks in place with metal-on-metal screws for a secure hold. We tried a couple of other types of stand (adhesives, plastics, and smaller bases), but this relatively old-school option remains our top choice.

Light Hanging Chain Hardware Kit

A generic light hanging kit suitable for many applications

Everything you need to hang any of our horticultural fluorescent light fixtures quickly & easily. Comes with two heavy duty 8 foot chains, 4 "S" hooks, and 2 "J" hooks. Use of S hooks makes height adjustments up & down the chain easy.

If installing on a ceiling without exposed/visible beams, always be sure to screw the J hooks directly into a wood beam/joist to ensure a safe installation. If you aren't sure how to pinpoint one during installation, ask someone with experience or google it! (It's a pretty easy job, even for those who aren't DIY inclined!)
