UV Monitor Lets You Know When You're Done Roasting

Filed under: etc.

The Personal UV Monitor from Oregon Scientific is the only tool you'll need to know at exactly what second to run for cover on days when the Ozone layer is on vacation. Sunbathers can use the power of science to maximize their tans and minimize burns.

To set up your personal exposure timer, enter the SPF of the sunscreen you have on, and your skin type (ranging anywhere from "alabaster" to "distinctly pigmented"). Now when out in the sun hit the UV button , and the UV sensor will detect the current UV level. Now you can sizzle at ease knowing that your monitor will beep when it's time for you to set yourself on a cooling rack.
