## Important notes

Illuminance readings depend on measurement geometry, sensor placement, spectral response, calibration, and the surrounding light. Follow the Kyoritsu instructions and use a current calibration when the result matters. JIS or other local compliance requirements can differ; this meter is not by itself proof of workplace, building, or regulatory compliance. Tax, shipping, import costs, warranty, and calibration are separate.

Japan tax-free eligibility, actual local sales tax, daily FX, shipping, card fees, warranty, and import charges can change the final cost.
