Hi Russell,

Grainger ( grainger.com )  has several models (found by searching for
"lux meter" on their site). They have locations all over the US and
they either stock it or can have it delivered to the store, no charge
to you, usually by the next day AM. However, you cannot just walk in
and buy from them for some strange reason - you need to have a company
account set up first, even if you are going to be paying by credit
card or cash.
