You can call Bogen (importer for Gossen) and buy a battery adapter kit. I
did this for my LunaPro meter. It converts the meter to use #357 batteries
instead of the two PX625 it originally required. Cost was about $20 if I
remember right. I don't know if the Lunasix is the same or not... maybe they
have a version for that meter also.
