Maybe non continuous use? | ||
I have installed three of these little meters on equipment to monitor AC in. After a few months they have failed. One larger cap looks like it gets hot and splits open. Maybe a momentary push button switch so the meter doesn’t get hot or receive a V spike would let them live. | ||

Green Is Really Bright | ||
I have four of the five colors. They work as expected with Green especially bright because the human eye is more sensitive to green. Per calibrated DMM is within <1 volt. One is mounted on my computer monitor. My AC line is stable 120 V + 3 V, -2 V. | ||

UPDATE TO MY LAST REVIEW | ||
Same as the last 2 units. Mounted on panel in open air. Accurate initially. Then after a couple weeks of drifting it was at 133-134 V when actual was 118 to 119. MAYBE if these are used for occasional monitoring they would be ok. NOT for 100% use... | ||

For about the price of a pilot lamp assembly... | ||
I bought three of these -- actually two in blue, one in white -- intending to install them in some rack-mount outlet fixtures. Before committing to punching holes, though, I gave them a quick test with a DMM and a variable autotransformer. All three tracked well with each other through the 140v range the autotransformer and within a volt or two of the DMM -- I cannot vouch for the calibration of the DMM but I like to think it is reasonably accurate. They give a readable indication down to around 6V and achieve full brightness at around 35v. | ||
