The UV Monkey is a small device designed to be easily carried with you wherever you go to indicate the power of the sun. The device changes its central colour depending on the UV strength detected, allowing you to know when it’s best to charge your solar power devices and when to protect your skin.
The UV Monkey is a UV index tester that can display 4 ranges of the UV index, allowing you to know when it is best to get solar panels in place to charge, or when it’s best to cover up and use protection for your skin. The device has been designed to be the size of a keyring, 4 cm (1.5 in) to allow you to be able to take it everywhere with you.
When it is exposed to sunlight the center of the disk will change from white to a purple shade. The guide around the edge shows the 4 different shades of purple and reminds you what each represents, the darker the shade, the stronger the UV. The 4 ranges displayed are Index 1-2, Index 3-5, Index 6-8, and Index 9-11.
