Customer Review: Every cancer patient should have one of these!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: UV Monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product. I have some skin problems and my dermatologist wants me to limit my exposure to UV. This little device gives a reading of the UV intensity. It is small and easy to carry around. It reads if the UV is extreme, high, medium, or low and gives the number of minutes you can safely stay in the sun. It helps me win the arguments with my wife when I want to go for a bicycle ride in the evening. I can pull out the meter and show her the be UV level is very low and that it is safe.Customer Review: Save yourself from Sunburn
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Outstanding product!
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this item for a science experiment for my 10-year-old. It was simple to use and worked great! Worth what I paid and I'd recommend it to everyone. We're going to continue to use it for temperature readings and for uv readings when we're out on the lake.Customer Review: don't get sunburned
Summary: 5 Stars
excellent device for preventing sunburn and other skin disorders. a must if you burn easily or go to an unfamiliar site.
