Intended for photographers, videographers, cinematographers, and gaffers, the SPECTROMETER C-800 from Sekonic is an advanced field meter capable of reading virtually all light sources whether they're LED, flash, incandescent, HMI, fluorescent, or in the natural light spectrum. Most importantly, it's a practical lighting tool that analyzes the light source using 11 different display modes on its 4.3" color touchscreen, indicating specifically what you need to do to achieve your desired effect. The meter's CMOS sensor enables measurement in increments as fine as 1nm and allows capture of color spikes in the light output - an especially valuable function when working with LED, HMI, fluorescent lighting, and mixed sources. Perhaps the meter's most exciting addition is Spectral Similarity Index. Developed by the Sci-Tech Council of the Academy, SSI gives the user the ability to set any light as a standard, or use predefined standards (such as CIE D55), and then gives other lights an SSI score based upon how well they will match. The C-800 also includes TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index), TLMF (Television Lighting Matching Factor), and TM-30-15 (Technical Memorandum) in addition to CRI (Color Rendering Index), which can be measured singularly or in two light comparison mode.

Adam C. ★★★★★

The touchscreen interface makes navigating the different light modes a breeze, and I was impressed by how quickly it adjusts between daylight and LED sources. It’s already saved me time balancing multiple fixtures on a shoot.

Ruby R. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this meter on set for a few weeks now, and being able to read both continuous and pulsed lights accurately with the touchscreen interface is a game-changer. The spectral analysis feature lets me match different fixtures quickly, which has saved a ton of time during lighting setups.

Michael P. ★★★★★

Switching from a handheld incident meter to this was night and day—the spectral analysis instantly identifies tricky LED mixes on set. The waveform display on the touchscreen is incredibly clear, even in bright sunlight. It's saved me hours of guesswork matching practicals to my key light.
