I had no idea that I needed one of those. But mine should arrive tomorrow!k

Now I can monitor the temperature of the brake discs on my S2000, because the calipers have a tendency to seize. yes, that's what I'll use it for. Mostly.

One of my favourite toys I mean tools. Finding cold spots on interior walls, rad temps in each room, seeing if we can hit new records with the log burner, using the laser to tease the rabbits the list goes on .

I really wish you hadn't posted the link - click link "ooh it's only £10", click one button purchase thingy, email confirmation 5 seconds later. I wonder if the delivery will arrive Monday since it's a holiday day? Very soon I'll know the temperature of the cat, of the fluffy variety. I've always been suspicious my coffee machine temperature isn't correct, soon I'll know for sure.... and then I'll need a new one of those too!

I have had a laser thermometer for a while now, bought it to check a heat press and make sure the corners were getting to the right temp and not just the middle. But also inline with that glow engine for the boat above i use it to tune my RC nitro car.

Make sure you read the instructions, there's different settings for different materials/finishes which makes a large difference to the reading.

I really do not need a library or a chaise longue to put in it. So I bought one today

You bought a library?

I kind of did. Over many years accumulating a lot of books, I have just bought an utterly ridiculous Victorian pile that has a room which will be the library. Now I have somewhere to lay about and read on too.

I did exactly that at 9:45 yesterday evening, and it's just been delivered at noon today (Sunday). Got yours yet ?

Sorry to burst your bubble but you wont be getting the precise temperature of anything...not unless you set the emmisivity (thats if you can set the emmisivity value with this actual device)

The problem with infra-red thermometers is that although all objects emmit IR they do so at different emmisivity values. These can be dramatically different and if you don't set an accurate emmisivity value for the material you are measuring then you can have errors as big as 30 degrees difference. I sell IR thermometers and thermal imaging cameras and am constantly explaining to potential customers that IR temperature measurement is a tricky subject with regards to accuracy.

Even with the emmisivity set accurately for the material to be measured and assuming you are exactly 90 degrees angle to the material surface, and also you know the spot measurement area of the optics then the best accuracy you can get will be around +/- 2 degrees centigrade..

That's your 5 minute lesson in basic IR thermometry over...

I don't really need this and the wife is going to murder me when it turns up, but meh.



I'll finally have 5.1 with the ability to listen to conversations in movies!

Arrived at 1130 this morning. I can confirm the pet rabbits have an external temperature of 18.5 degrees. Great fun. Will be useful.

I also have absolutely no need for one of these. So i Just ordered 2, thanks

I've got one too. Absolutely no need for one but it's useful to know my cat is 20 degrees.

Mine turned up at 9am and I'm 34C apparently on my hand whilst the walls are a positively warm 20c.

Off to find the temperature of other really useful things.
