cheap IR thermometers?

not for accuracy no price dont improve that much either. non-contact temp probs cant replace surface ones for accurate surface temp readings and even then prob needs insulated from ambient conditions. same as the ones used for superheat readings on refrigeration systems which now can read withing 100ths of a degree Fahrenheit which is much more accurate than Celsius by its nature. most HVAC and refrigeration techs in the US prefer it for this reason. we only convert for European use due to them being more familiar with it and their metric systems. I have used the IR sensors just for spot checking hard to reach areas for approximate temps to see if they are close to set points. like when a Maintenance man does "the run" for his shift at a Hotel etc. or extreme temp locations or hazardous surroundings preventing access.
