Cost Effective solution for measuring light-source colour and illuminance

The CRI Illuminance meter CL-70F is a compact, lightweight, handheld instrument for measuring the colour and illuminance of light sources (including new LED and EL light sources). Measurement data is displayed in terms of illuminance, chromaticity, CRI, tristimulus values, dominant wavelength, excitation purity, correlated colour temperature, and difference values from a target.

The CL-70F can be used with a commercially available flash sync cable to take spectral measurements of photographic flashlights.

The utility software CL-SU1w is included as standard and adds further functionality for capturing and analysing data.

Principle Applications

Measurement and evaluation of special illumination sources used for restaurants, museums, studios, and stages, etc.
Measurement and evaluation of indoor light sources such as LEDs, fluorescent lamps, etc.
LED billboard development, quality control, and maintenance
Evaluating the illuminance distribution characteristics of LED modules or lighting fixtures
Building and interior lighting research

Spatial lighting production and adjustment
Colour-viewing cabinet maintenance
Projector light source research and colour inspection
Checking environments for psychological research experiments

Features

Designed for in-field use: Portable instrument with rotating sensor head and touch screen for ease of operation. The head can be rotated so that the display has maximum visibility in any lighting conditions. The instrument is battery powered.

Entry level spectral sensor: Entry level access to CRI measurement data, peak wavelength, dominant wavelength, spectral curve. The instrument reports at 10nm which provides sufficient detail for most users.

Easy measurement of correlated colour temperature: data is measured for correlated colour temperature (Tcp) and difference from the blackbody locus (Δuv).
