This new sensor reads between 389nm to 692nm which much better.
Old sensors read 410 nm to 655 nm.
Looking at the chart you can see it does much better response in the 400 to about 450 (Blue-purple) range and far better 675 to 700 (red) range and this is on par with the more expensive licor sensors.
They have a upgrade for those who have the older sensors.
The sensors themselves are around 300.00 or a full unit with meter for 500.00
They have a SQ-520 Smart Quantum Sensor USB for 345.00
These are so much better for measuring blue lamps especially leds since allot of led fixtures use allot of royal blue and violet leds.
This is pretty big especially since this hobby uses allot of blue lighting..
