Ultimate UV sun protection in the palm of your hand!

SafeSun is a personal ultraviolet light (UV) meter. It measures the "skin burning intensity" of sun's UV (in UV Index units) and lets you know how much UV you've absorbed throughout the day.

SafeSun Classic $144.95 Out of Stock User-friendly with many advanced features In the Basic Mode just press one button to measure UV intensity and daily dose. In the Advanced Mode enter your Skin Sensitivity Value and SPF to measure UV intensity and relative daily dose (in percentages).	SafeSun Sensor $104.95 Out of Stock Simple to operate Keyless personal UV meter. Turns on/off automatically when moved into/out of the sun! Measures UV intensity and daily dose

It's not enough to measure UV in a general sense to determine the overall skin burning intensity of sunlight.

The human skin has different sensitivity to various types of UV (UVA, UVB, UVC). This phenomenon is described by a world-wide accepted standard – the Erythemal Response Spectrum. SafeSun is the only consumer-targeted device based on this standard. Until now, the only way to precisely measure "skin burning intensity" of UV light was with expensive and cumbersome scientific instruments

Leading Authorities Have Tested SafeSun - For Your Safety

SafeSun's compliance with the readout of professional UV metering equipment has been tested by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's SunWise program, World Radiation Center in Switzerland and the Australian Radiation Laboratory. These rigorous tests compared SafeSun's UV measurements with those taken by professional UV metering equipment. The tests have demonstrated the professional accuracy of SafeSun UV meters.

Technical Specifications:

Skin Sensitivity Value (SSV)

Your individual sensitivity to sun burning is represented by a Skin Sensitivity Value.

Sun Protection Factor (SPF) describes the increased allowable time of sun exposure before your particular skin type burns. An SPF value is assigned by manufacturers of sun protecting cosmetics for items such as sunscreens, creams, lipsticks, cosmetic milks, lotions, etc. For example, SPF4 means that you can expose yourself to the sun four times longer without burning, than without using any SPF.


SafeSun Classic has SSV and SPF feature. The device measures the UV dose taking these values into account (in the Advanced mode only). If you don't want to tan, you should use a lower Skin Sensitivity Value. Some medications and consumption of alcohol may change skin sensitivity to UV.
