    Wow, thats great.
    Thanks for the info!;)
    I dont have a good multimeter right now, but I could hop over to ebay to get one.
    Any multimeter will work or do I need one with a specific setting?
    Also, where would I be able to get just the sensor to buy?
    Thanks

    Yeah the sensor is ~130.00, works out pretty good if you own a multimeter already. Even if you don't you can get a decent one for 50.00 on Ebay, and still be way ahead. I actually purchased from this ebay seller, and can say he ships promptly. Can't beat the price for this Fluke knockoff http://cgi.ebay.com/VC9808-3-1-2-Di...ultDomain_0&hash=item5888df412b#ht_1974wt_905

    however, you can probably buy a sufficient one at Orchard Supply, Sears, Kragens, etc....

    I bought my sensor from Apogee, on the same page as the PAR meter, you will see the option for sensors. I got the electronic calibrated sensor, but supposedly, if you want to use your meter on LED's the sensor to buy is the sun calibrated one. Just ask the technicians and they will help, normal wait was less than a few hours when I emailed a question.
