I'm not a professional photographer, so I don't think I need this. Plus, amateurs can just use smartphone apps.

Though, the original Extech version on Amazon is at $59.99, so I'm really tempted. What to do?

I have no idea wtf that does, but I ordered one.
Seems like it will kinda be fun to fool around with it.

What is it used for professionally?

Other than photography? Maybe Feng shui?

I've been thinking it over, and I think the average GJ member can use it for their flashlight reviews!

Very interesting. Here is a video showing how it works.

They also sell a sound meter but it is not on sale.

The sound meter would be nice to have a more formal way to know when to wear ear protection.

iPhone has an app for both, not sure how accurate they are.
