Light Meter for Illuminance Testing

The Value Brand 5URG0 Light Meter measures illuminance from 0 to 4000 Fc and 0 to 40000 Lux. It features a full-size body with an LCD backlight display for clear readings in various lighting conditions. The unit includes a 9V battery and instructions for immediate use. This tool suits electricians, facility managers and photographers verifying light levels.

Compatibility and Power Requirements

Confirm the 9V battery format matches your spares or procurement list before ordering. The meter operates on a single 9V cell which is supplied in the box. Auto power-off helps preserve battery life during intermittent use. Ensure the measurement range covers the lux or foot-candle values required by your specific application standards.

Upgrading from Basic Light Meters

This model replaces simpler analog or non-backlit digital meters that lack the 40000 Lux upper range. The jump is worth it when you need a single instrument covering both foot-candle and lux scales with a backlit display for low-light environments. It is not suited for users requiring spectral analysis, data logging or wireless connectivity features.

Questions about this item

Does the Value Brand 5URG0 light meter ship with a battery and instructions or must they be purchased separately?

The meter includes one 9 V battery and the instruction sheet in the box so no separate purchase is needed.

The model lists two ranges, 0-4000 Fc and 0-40000 Lux; which one should I use for general indoor lighting checks?

Use the 0-4000 Fc scale for foot-candle readings common in building codes, or the 0-40000 Lux scale if your standards specify lux; both cover the same light levels in different units.

How does the 4000 Fc upper limit translate when I am measuring bright office lighting?

Typical office lighting falls well below 4000 Fc, so the meter will display the reading directly without ranging issues.
