Final video of the year. And it was a big one to make. I probably should have made this a two-part video...

Anyway, I would like to find an inexpensive alternative to dedicated lux and decibel meters. I have a multimeter that should work as both - but is it good enough?

Or what about the smartphone I already have? Will it work well enough with some free apps for light and sound measurement? Time to find out...


Happy New Year!
