The meter arrived in quick time and when tested against a known-good second meter, the readings were consistent between the two.

Thank you, Timothy. Checking a meter against a known-good one is exactly the right way to test it, and we're glad the readings lined up. Light meters are one of the harder items for us to grade, so hearing that from you is genuinely useful. If anything ever drifts, please get in touch.
