In other words if you build a DIY light it might not be wise to build a DIY meter to test it. You also have to ask why apogee would charge $100 for the probe and $300 for a mV meter, you really think that mV meter is nothing special, something that could be replaced for a few bucks?

um.. I am using a fluke. you sure do make a lot of asumptions. I needed a good one for HVAC, and electronic controles for my work, also electronics has been a hoby of mine for about 20 years.. but for whats its worth, my 80 buck canuck rubber digital auto range multi meter that I bought for keeping in my automotive shop, gives the exact same reading as my FE115
