Testing PAR of my lights was something I was always meaning to do early on after set up of new marine tank. Ordered PAR tester through Par Meter Hire UK and the service / communication and speed of service was fantastic. Now have the info and have adjusted the intensity of my lights as a result.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service. Came on the day that was agreed in a protective case & easy instructions. The USB-C adapter that came with the meter seemed to be faulty so I had to use another computer to be able to use the meter but Caine was more than helpful when I raised the issue & he gave me two extra days to compensate. I would urge anyone that needs to check their PAR readings to do so as mine were approx 30% below were they needed to be and I wouldn’t hesitate using this company again. Thanks for the service 👍🏻

Excellent product and service

The entire process from placing the order to returning it was seamless. The parts arrived in excellent condition and were well packaged. They also provided clear step by step instructions for using the metre with my MacBook. Caine’s service was really good. I received an email confirming my order and informing me of the delivery date and return deadline.

Professional service

Great condition unit and really well packaged. Was not expecting little extras like return bags and labels, adaptors etc - could not have done more to provide a better service.

Great UK based company for marine enthusiasts

This was one of the easiest transactions for hiring something I've ever had. As soon as you place the order you'll be contacted to arrange delivery and I delayed mine till a day when I was off. The PAR meter itself comes with everything you need to use it and send it back. The equipment is top quality and works great for readings within my marine tank. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone in the hobby. I'll be back soon once I've upgraded my light. Thanks again for a smooth hire.
