Lidl temperature sensor

[Jim Murray]

Does anyone know if this would do a job for measuring surface temps? I'm not sure of its' range or whether it works with water:-

From what I understand IR thermometers don't work well on reflective surfaces. You get the temperature of whatever is being reflected.

In short, no it won’t … I use a dip type of thermometer around £5.00 to buy

ok I thought not but it would have been very handy.

Why would you want to measure the surface temperature?

It's cheaper to buy an alcohol type thermometer for a few pounds, put it in your landing net and dip it in the river for a few minutes at the start of fishing.

On a hot windless summer's day, the surface temperature of a pond or lake will be higher than the rest of the water.

Hi... I got one today expecting that it will enable me to get some control over the oven on my Taylors paraffin stove which has two hob burners and two cast iron slabs that sit on top to divert heat down. Variables are one or two burners on and limited flame control
