Spot measurement of colour and luminance in a handheld portable instrument

 
The CS-150 and CS-160 are lightweight, compact and battery powered luminance and colour meters for the measurement of a wide range of luminance conditions and non-contact measurement of colour.

These instruments offer improved features, usability, accuracy and range over their predecessor the CS-100A, resulting in a greatly improved luminance measurement range up to 999,900 cd/m2 (CS-150) and 9,999,000 cd/m2 (CS-160).

Improvements to the optical system and filters results in an instrument that more closely matches the CIE 1931 colour-matching functions and the relative spectral response, with an improved match to the sensitivity of the human eye for photopic vision (CIE spectral luminous efficiency V(λ).


Principal Applications

  • Chromaticity and luminance measurements of LEDs and other small light sources.
  • Chromaticity and luminance measurements of tungsten and fluorescent lamps.
  • Surface colour measurements of freshly painted walls and other surfaces that cannot be touched.
  • Surface colour measurements of complex shapes and items that cannot be touched for hygiene reasons.
  • Chromaticity and luminance measurements of signal lighting including rail signals, road signals and aviation signals.
  • Chromaticity and luminance measurements of colour displays.
  • Luminance measurements of monochrome displays.
  • Chromaticity and luminance measurements of video projectors.

Features

Features
  • Designed for maximum accuracy and usability: the SLR optics and pistol grip design mean that the device is easy to accurately target and measure even small areas. A targeting reticule inside the viewfinder ensures that only the desired area is included.
 
  • Virtually flare free optical system: the influence of light from outside the measurement area is eliminated to reduce measurement errors.
 
  • Expanded versatility: Building on the success of its predecessor with an expanded measurement range and new measurement angle (CS-160). Measurement down to an area of 0.4mm is possible (using close up lens and CS-160) offering new possibilities for portable, and traceable measurement of light and displays.
 
  • Expanded connectivity options: The CS-150/160 can be used in combination with a CCD adaptor to integrate the system with your own software, jigs and automation.
Areas of application
Besides the measurement of absolute values, the instrument can also display values relative to a defined standard (target). That way differences in brightness and colour on large surfaces or similar items can be quickly ascertained.

The CS-150/160 Spot Incident Colour Meter can measure the luminance and colour values for all types of light sources including signal and traffic lights, airport runway lighting, lamps, LED's, etc. The wide measurement range of 0.01 cd/m2 to 999,900 cd/m2 (CS-160 0.1 cd/m2 to 9,999,000 cd/m2) and adjustable integration time ensures that the CS-150 or CS-160 can be used for most luminance and chromaticity applications.
