    The club has a PAR meter in each region, that is loaned out to dues-paying members.

    Just pay your membership and I think Aussie is the trustee in the area.

    I have paid for my membership, how do I go about borrowing the PAR meter then? I won’t need it until after the 27th when my lights come in

    Go to the Regional forums area. There is a separate forum for each region - so one for CR/IC area. The top sticky post is for a thread regarding PARmeter check out. Post there.

    @erayk1@erayk1 - is the regional trustee. He should be able to help hook you up.

    Sounds good and hopefully you can get them dialed in, I believe the club PAR meters are a huge plus for members. Thanks!

    It’s definitely nice to be able to use one! I got my lights all dialed in , but I will be replacing them with better lights in the future , the spread on these are pretty bad but they’ll do for now lol
