DOES ANYONE HAVE ONE OF THESE FOR SALE? AND IF SO HOW MUCH ARE YOU LOOKING TO GET FOR IT? I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT READS BOTH UVA AND UVB... THANKS

Solarmeters don't read UVA and UVB separately... Model 5.0 is UVA+B = Total UV.

For UVB only you'd need a Model 6.0. Subtract that from Model 5.0 = UVA.

Or you could try the huge UV meter companies and get one you can switch from A to B readings... for about $1500.

I CAN GET IT FROM MY DISTY FOR 150 THAT DOES BOTH... WHERE DID YOU GET 1500?

You silly! That is the 5.0 meter mentioned above!

It doesn't DO both separately... it "does" both combined as one number.

I know what I'm tawkin' about because I make the darn things! Please read this so you will understand:
