Solarmeter Model 6.4 Vitamin UVB Meter – Digital UV Radiometer (280–320 nm)

Overview

Meet the Solarmeter Model 6.4 Vitamin D UV Meter, a compact digital UVB radiometer designed to quantify UVB exposure with reliable consistency. The sensor captures 280–320 nm radiation and reports readings on a bright LCD, with an accuracy of roughly ±10%. Its portable form fits in a pocket or tool bag, and its simple single-button interface makes quick checks straightforward. The included 9-volt battery powers the device for extended field use, and the unit's sturdy plastic housing resists everyday wear. This meter helps you observe how different light sources compare in terms of UVB output, a practical aid when Vitamin D considerations matter and UV testing is part of your routine.

What you can measure

• UVB intensity in the 280–320 nm range, displayed in IU/min up to 1999.
• Relative Vitamin D dose potential from lamps, solar exposure, or other UV sources.
• Comparison of lamp performance over time and assessment of aging or degradation.
• UV output from a variety of devices used in settings like lighting, dermatology, veterinary care, and curing.

Key benefits and practical use cases

• Economical & Highly Accurate: quick quantification of UVB intensity with a stated tolerance of about ±10%.
• Versatile: measure vitamin D dose in IU/min and gauge lamp or solar brightness related to vitamin D production potential.
• Practical & Durable: compact, handheld design with a battery expected to last around two years under typical use.
• Easy-to-Use: single-button operation, clear LCD display, and reliable performance in the field; NIST-traceable accuracy is noted in product specs.

Real-world scenarios

• Testing home or professional tanning lamps to understand relative UVB output before sessions.
• Assessing outdoor sun exposure or comparing artificial sources during setup or renovation projects.
• Verifying eyewear UV protection or evaluating phototherapy and curing equipment where UVB measurement matters.
• Monitoring the aging of UV devices to plan maintenance and replacements with confidence.
