Datacolor Introduces the LightColor Meter
25 February 2025
Datacolor has announced its Datacolor LightColor Meter, a multi-functional device to measure both the light and color temperature of any light source, including changing outdoor light, tungsten, LED, HMI, fluorescent, strobe and more.
Additionally, filter libraries from Profoto, LEE and Rosco are included to help you select the best color-correcting gels from those products. A free Datacolor LightColor Meter app is also available for both iOS and Android.
"The Datacolor LightColor Meter is like a portable on-set Personal Assistant. Its wireless feature eliminates the need to run to and from your camera to your metering location while receiving precise light and color temperature data in real-time, even in shifting light conditions such as those outdoors," said Heath Barber, Datacolor director of Product Management, Consumer. "The LightColor Meter takes the guesswork out of exposure settings for those new to using a light meter and experienced users will appreciate the added advantage of being able to measure color temperature and DUV, as well as light, with one powerful and convenient product."
The LightColor Meter retails for $399 and is available for purchase on the Datacolor Web site, Amazon and through authorized retailers. For more information see the news release below.
Datacolor Introduces the LightColor Meter
Measures All Types of Lighting + Color Temperature, Wirelessly
Streams Data to Your Phone in Real-Time Via Its Free App
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. -- Datacolor has announced its Datacolor LightColor Meter, a multi-functional device that measures both light and color temperature for any light source, including changing outdoor light, tungsten, LED, HMI, fluorescent, strobe and more. The measurement of color temperature -- the warmth or coolness of a light -- provides users with essential information to choose the most appropriate lighting and exposure for a specific application to ensure consistent color appearance. Additionally, filter libraries from Profoto, LEE and Rosco are included to help users select the right color-correcting gels.
Used with the free Datacolor LightColor Meter app (iOS/Android), the Bluetooth-connected device continuously streams data to your phone for time-saving remote flexibility and pinpoint accuracy. Photographers, cinematographers and hybrid photo/video shooters can easily fine-tune lighting and exposure without leaving the camera and can sync multiple LightColor Meters for simultaneous readings from several locations for enhanced workflow efficiencies and precise exposure.
