Ambient Weather SRS100LX Temperature and Humidity Solar Radiation Shield

I've had my radiation shield for over 13 years and still in use. Mounted on a 4x4, it has stayed intact despite all kinds of weather conditions. I have mounted two temperature sensors inside to compare the readings of both, which are normally within a degree of each other. My temperature readings are consistent with the local airport as reported on the NWS website. The mounting bracket could be a bit stronger because there is a droop caused by just the weight of the shield and the two very light sensors. All in all, the shield has served me very well. If anything ever happens to it, it will be replaced with the same product.

Garbage

After a few weeks of my temperature readings being way too high, I ordered this thing. It works just like it should with better readings that match much CLOSER to my other sensors.Assembly wasn't hard at all, but assembling and installing my Ambient Weather WS-1090 Wireless Home Weather Station w/ Data Logging & Atomic Time was easier and took less time than this radiation shield. It came with a lot of extra and unneeded screw and nuts (I have no idea why they were included). I wasn't satisfied with how my sensor sat inside so I changed it a bit, velcroing it to the post inside with the zip ties stabilizing it.The whole thing does sag just a bit, I taped a piece of wood to my post so it wouldn't hit and rub on the metal.Overall, I'm very satisfied with it. It makes readings more accurate and is a good buy. Well, $40 may have been a little much...

Wanted to use this with an Ambient Weather WR-31 temp humidity sensor. Does a very poor job doing what it is engineered for. Temp readings are consistently high by 4-5 degrees F when sun hits enclosure.The build of the unit is very flimsy, I could see it doing lots of moving around in high winds. The mounting bracket is a flimsy plastic joke. I can see this breaking and the whole thing hitting the ground at some point in not too distant future. I will be returning it.

After trying to find some way to get accurate temperature readings in the morning and evening (the times my thermometer is in the sun)I bought the SRS100LX. I tried a product from a different company that cost approximately $95.00. That other product claimed to be a small thermometer screen, it in reality was nothing but junk that did not work. My fault for not doing enough research in the beginning. The SRS100LX works awesome. I have had not even one iota of a temperature spike. I have done tests with three sensors. One in the shade, one in the direct sun, the third sensor in the SRS100LX in the direct sun. The temperature in the shade was 73*, the temperature in the direct sun was 91*, the temperature of the third was 73*. All sensors setup the same(distance above ground, distance from nearby objects, etc.) this thing works and works well. The price is right too. Not sure how it would work if it was in the sun all day long, I only have sun on my thermometer in the morning and afternoon. I had given up fixing this issue and then found this product online, bought it on a whim, SO glad I did, I now have accurate temperatures all day long! The only thing I am going to do is buy three lock washers to put beneath the three wing nuts just to give a little reassurance that things will not loosen up. My biggest question before buying this is if it would work with other company's sensors. I didn't find much information on this but yes it does. I am using it with my Lacrosse sensor. It appears that my other sensors would fit in there just fine too. So, YES, this will work with many different sensors. I am loving this thing. I hope this review helps someone.
