    Can anyone recommend a lux meter for measuring light exposure in our exhibit halls?  Ease of use is paramount. Thank you!

    An inexpensive and user-friendly model that has come up multiple times on the PACCIN listserv is the Extech LT40. I have used one and it seemed to reliably get the job done.

    Hi Martin, there was a similar question on the Global Conservation Forum recently with a suggestion that you could look into as well. This is just meant to let you know of an option though - as Robin said, we don't endorse any specific product. Hopefully the link works, but if not you can search "rechargeable light meter" in the online community.
