From an advertising email today





You are receiving this email from Fluke Corporation because you are a
member of the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors
and have agreed to receive emails from their partners.

Ahhh, I was wondering if anyone else had the same thought. I also received it today.

Some one should send Fluke an email asking them to pull the ad...

I saw it over at Home Energy Magazines site about a week ago and was wondering how people would react to that.

I am both surprised and saddened that Fluke would become a bottom feeder. I am also more pleased that I bnought a Flir Camera.

Fluke, you are "Fluking up" with this one.

[Douglas Cossar]

That looks like one of Mike Holmes' crew

Cheers

Fluke makes some great products and I have been buying their stuff for over 30 years but this is just stupid.

They need to fire their ad agency and start over.

agreed michael, very unpro on there part, I too have some fluke in the bag but FLIR on my side

[wsiegel]

I thought it was clever

[William J. Decker]

I did an hour long interview for Angie's List, to be published in several newspapers around the country (locally, in the Sun-Times). I stressed to the writer that IR cameras DO NOT see through walls and that this is merely an optical illusion caused by thermal bridging.

The article came out and guess what the headline was?

"Home Inspector's new tool allows they to see through walls."

Remember, like politicians, writers don't know nothing, and many times just write what they want to believe and makes their story more sensational.

Fluke, you are "Fluking up" with this one.

And this is different from the low end FLIR PoS that was released last year how?

I think both are below what is needed for effective use. I have seen the FLIR in action in the field and it was worthless for the ultility company auditor that was there at the same time as I. But I fail to see how this makes one company better or worse, they are obviously filling a market need. Cheap, ineffective cameras for inspectors or contractors or utility companies that want to say "we use IR." Even though their IR is next to useless.
