Q3 Innovations ThermoHAWK 200 Infrared Thermometer

In my mind I have two classifications of gadgets: ones that are tools and ones that are toys. Most of my favorite gadgets are both.

In preparation for a upcoming review, I needed to buy an infrared thermometer. I debated buying one of these “touchless” thermometers a few years ago, but eschewed the idea because the few available for consumers were expensive, bulky and rather ugly. Professional models, like the Fluke 63, were less unsightly but even more expensive and cumbrous. [Full Story]

What’s the UV index?

Keep track and stay safe when the sun is the strongest.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the National Weather Service developed the UV index as a measure of the amount of the sun’s UV radiation reaching the earth’s surface on a given day. The readings range from 1 to 11+; the higher the number, the stronger the rays and the faster your skin will burn. To check the UV index anywhere in the continental U.S., go to epa.gov/sunwise1/uvindex.html. You can also buy a UV monitor, like the UV Hawk ($30; q3i.com), bottom right. Clip it to your beach blanket–not only will it give you a UV rating, but it sounds an alarm when you’re in danger of sun overexposure. A lower-tech option, the UV Intensity Meter & Lens Tester card ($5; scientificsonline.com), top right, gives you a UV reading when exposed to sunlight and can be used to test the UV-blocking ability of your sunglasses.

DRIVEN TO PROTECTION

The sun’s rays, particularly UVA, are so omnipresent that it’s smart to protect yourself even while you’re driving or sitting at your desk, since UVA rays can penetrate through glass. In fact, the Skin Cancer Foundation reports that drivers tend to have rougher, more-pigmented skin on their left side. Luckily, window films, which come in different tints and block out more than 99 percent of ultraviolet rays without compromising visibility, can be applied to your car and home windows. Do it yourself with just a few household tools, or have a professional coat your windows for you. Log on to www.skincancer.org for a complete list of resources. You can also control how much UV exposure you’re getting with UV Hawk, $29.95, a small, handheld device that lets you know what the UV levels are at any given time. Or try out SunCheck UV Monitors, $4.99, for a pack of 18; these tiny stickers that you affix to your skin turn blue when you’ve had enough sun.
