Joel MathisJoel Mathis: AccuWeather products are great. I highly recommend this product. It helps keep the UV heat off the sensor for a more accurate reading. pretty mush matches what the local news outlets show. I placed mine in a tree. But will hang from any hook. well-made durable plastic that is colored white. If you hang the sensor without this radiation shield the sun will affect it badly give you very high temp readings. I recommend you get this if you are trying to record the temperature correctly. arrived in a well packed box conmes in one piece you simply slide sensor up inside it and it snaps right in, no hassle whatsoever. also comes with easy-to-follow instructions.

BearBorne: Protects the transmitter from the elements, does little to regulate temperature when sun shines on it in early morning.

Amazon Customer: This is a very good unit to isolate your temperature sensors from direct sunlight, giving more accurate readings under all conditions. I actually bought this for another brand sensor (ecowitt) so required some modifications, but in the end got it to work. This is a very reasonable priced radiation shield and worth the money. Recommended.

Chris: I bought this for an Ecowitt WH32 temperature/humidity sensor. After a bit of modification, it fits nicely. I removed the plastic clip meant to hold AcuRite's sensor and replaced it with a bit of 18 gauge wire, then used another bit of wire to create a hook for the sensor to hang it off the first wire. This way, when I need to replace the sensor's batteries, I can just unhook it without any disassembly. It's been keeping the sun, rain, and snow off the sensor for over a year and shows no sign of wear or yellowing. The hole on the top is just large enough for a 15" hanging plant bracket from Canadian Tire (059-5696-6), which keeps the sensor from reading heat from my house in -40 winters. If I ever need another one (greenhouse?) I'd order this one again.

AL01: I bought this Acurite Radiation Shield/Cage for a different brand of thermo-hygrometer to the one it is designed for, as I knew that the generous dimensions of the internal void would accommodate my sensor. I was impressed by the quality of the this Shield which is quite a sturdy unit. The Acurite Shield, which arrives fully assembled, is actually constructed from a set of moulded white plastic louvre sections of tapering sizes with plastic latches that enable each section to click firmly into the next. These louvre units can easily be dis-assembled, if necessary, to assist in any modifications, which I needed to do in order to drill some fixing holes for my own cross piece that I screwed onto the internal top plate from which to hang my thermo-hygrometer sensor. The design protects your sensor from rain and also minimises erroneous readings due to direct sunlight but allows the air to flow through. I can recommend this unit.

John WilcoxJohn Wilcox: This is a review of the AcuRite 06054M Solar Radiation Shield

I know this shield was designed to hold and protect the AcuRite brand sensors, but I bought it in the hope that it would hold my La Crosse brand temperature/weather sensors, and I’m happy to report that the La Crosse sensors fit perfectly.

Whoever designed these solar shields knew what they were doing, when they fitted them with a simple, but clever securing system, consisting of a membrane of flexible plastic located just below the top interior of the plastic shield.

The sensor is inserted upright into the cowbell-shaped shield, through the open base of the shield. The La Crosse sensors are just under 5.75” high, and the shield measures about 6.5” from it’s base to it’s interior dome. The membrane that holds the sensor in place is located approximately 0.5” below the interior dome. This is just enough space to allow the “ears” of the membrane to surround and establish a decent grip on the top of the sensor. As noted earlier, the membrane is flexible, but it’s just firm enough to get a decent grip on the sensor. This permits both easy installation and removal...

K Snapp: Works perfectly housing my external temperature, lightning detector & sling-psychometer device. I have mine hanging on a Pinon Pine, lower limb over a grassy, rocky surface in my back yard of a mountainous desert-like terrain and climate. Accurately reads the ambient air temperature within .02°F even during brief moments of direct solar radiation hitting the white surface! You will not regret buying this instrument housing "garage" for any of your weather instruments👌🙂🙂
