Apogee MQ-610 Correct Model?

JoeinLA · Mar 5, 2022

I'm looking to get a Par meter and just wanted to confirm that this is the latest/correct one to get? I only see a couple posts here about it, so wasn't sure if perhaps I should still be getting the MQ-510?

Thanks!

If you have an Apex system you can get the PMK modile.

I'm using GHL - but I do note that apparently the 610 is NOT the right model; it should be the MQ-650 which is the underwater version.

I have both a 510 and 650, 650 has a wider spectrum and is only really useful for specific lights offering the spectrum range. Isaw no PAR difference using both under GNC’s but had higher PAR readings with the 650 under Icons

They appear to be roughly the same price (perhaps the MQ-510 will be phased out, which is my BRS doesn't have them in stock?), so I guess I'd go with "latest greatest". Perhaps the MQ-510's will go on sale , once the MQ-650 gets listed there (I don't see any 650's for sale on Amazon, just the 610's).

Go to Apogee direct, you can order there or give them a call and they can send you an invoice

The 510 would be my choice.
