These added features make the 5500 the Kestrel Meter of choice for military professionals, HAZMAT teams, and flight crews. Like all the new 5000 series, it can store up to approximately 10,000 data points.

Please note that you will need a dongle. A workaround if you don't have this with you would be to upload your data to your mobile smartphone and email it to yourself and open it on your Mac / PC. On the 4000 series you didn't need the Dongle.

All 5000 series meters will have both a bright green backlight, which is ideal for even high sunlight conditions, and a night vision that preserves the backlight. Red Night Vision (NV) backlight incorporates optical filter to reduce overall glare and minimize blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision. (Note: This 'night vision' is not compatible with night vision equipment). Basically, with the red backlight, the eyes don't need to adjust when looking from the meter to the horizon during night use.
