Hadn't thought about that...but I'll have to wait for the sun to return.
Ya think the sun will be colder in the winter, 'cuz it's cold outside now.

I did play with it and the flame of the gas stove a couple of times. I
ferget the temp, but it was impressive.
In reality, I did use it at work to check the air temperature coming out
of an air conditioning GRILL* 40 feet above the floor. I'm not sure
exactly how accurate it was, but it did verify to us and the building
owner that since the reading was 19 degrees F. cooler than surrounding
areas of the ceiling, there was most likely air coming from the grill.
Saved building a scaffold and climbing up there.
