Par Meter - Buy or Rent?

[sia2006]

Are there local shops that rent par meters or would purchasing be a better option? How often would it really be used, enough to justify cost?

I think you can rent it through BRS, but unless you like to tinker with your lights or change lights, you really need to only test it once. I only tested my par when I set up new light fixtures and then just leave it alone.

One of the benefits of becoming a supporting member is access to borrowing the club's par meter and/or having a member come by and take your readings with you.

He's in Ringgold, right at that TN / GA line, not sure how soon he'll ever get someone to get out to him.

Ahhh, that does make it a bit trickier.

You could buy a used one from here or r2r and then resell it later..the used price holds the value

I’d just buy. I have one and I use often
