Klein Tools ET130 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Klein ET130 light meter read in foot candles, or only lux?
Both. The ET130 reads in foot candles and lux, so you can verify against a spec written either way. Range is 4000 FC and 40,000 lux, with auto and manual ranging.
2) Is the ET130 enough meter to check lighting levels on a commercial job or in a parking garage?
For walk-around verification, yes. The 40,000 lux top end covers everything from a dim garage to bright office and retail daylight zones, and manual ranging lets you lock a range so the reading doesn't jump while you move the sensor. Max/Min capture is there for finding the brightest and darkest points in a space, and data hold freezes the reading when you're holding the sensor somewhere you can't see the screen.
3) What comes in the box with the Klein ET130, and do I need to buy a battery?
No separate battery purchase. The ET130 ships with a carrying pouch and the 9V battery it runs on. It takes one 9V, so replacements are off-the-shelf.
4) Can I read the ET130 display in a dark mechanical room or crawlspace?
Yes. The ET130 uses a backlit LCD, so the numbers stay readable in low light, which matters because that's exactly where you're measuring when a space fails a lighting level. It also carries a 40-segment bar graph alongside the digits, useful for watching a reading rise and fall as you sweep the sensor across a work surface.
5) How do I document a before-and-after lighting retrofit with the ET130?
Take your readings in foot candles if the spec or the local code table is written in FC, which is typical for US lighting specs, and use Max/Min to capture the range across the space rather than one spot. Data hold locks the value while you write it down. Same procedure before and after the lamp or fixture swap gives you a comparable record for the owner.
6) Will the Klein ET130 light meter fit in a tool pouch?
It's a handheld unit measuring 8.09 inches long, 2.09 inches wide and 1.41 inches thick, so it drops into a pouch or a bag pocket. The included carry case protects the sensor when it's loose in a truck box.
7) Does the Klein ET130 shut off on its own so the battery doesn't drain in the truck?
Auto power-off is built in. Toss it back in the pouch without thinking about it and the 9V isn't dead next month.
8) What's the Klein ET130 part number I should order?
Klein Tools ET130, sold as a single model with manufacturer part number ET130. There are no finish, range, or sensor variations to choose between.
