Temp guns

[VooDoo]

Can you guys tell me about these? Are the infrared the ones to get? Are they more accurate than the Exo Terra digtal probe thermometers?

Also, do they measure the air temps, or just surface temps? And do they make any that also measures humidity?

Thanks a bunch!

ive used the ones that were a laser and even 5 ft away it was very accurate

Air temps too?

the temp gun i used was just surface temp. why not just use a thermometer to measure your air temp?

I was just curious if these are more accurate..

They are fairly accurate, but as stated above, only measure surface temp. I have a couple in my toolbox at work. And i have never seen one with a humidity probe

I have one. I use it to confirm what the others are reading.
Do a search.
There was a thread a month or two ago.
We posted photos/brands etc.

There was also a thread recently on outdoor " weather stations"
Used inside the enclosure. They are great and wireless!

I have a temp gun, very accurate and mine has a self calibrating system.

they measure surface temp. I have one and use it in conjuction with a temperature probe just to check out different areas of the tank. I think it's a good tool to have
