Okay,...I was just wondering if I was using the Apogee MQ 200 PAR meter properly. It comes with 2 modes of measurement
1. SUN
2. ELECTRIC
Now it says there on the manual that if we want to measure the PAR from sunlight hitting the leaves we should set it on SUN & if we want to measure the PAR from an electrical source,...we obviously gotta set the mode to ELECTRIC.
Sounds pretty straightforward right? Yeah,...but there's this guy on this forum that I recentely checked out who uses the SUN mode to measure his light intensity in the aquarium because his light tube is rated as 8500 kelvin.
Am I missing something here? The thought of taking wrong readings this past one year is kind of humiliating.
