Illuminance Spectrophotometer CL-500A
For Evaluation Of Next Generation Light Sources
Konica Minolta CL-500A illuminance spectrophotometer is lightweight and portable instruments ideal for light sources including next generation lamps such as LED and EL illumination.
The CL-500A illuminance spectrophotometer is also the first handheld illuminance spectrophotometer that conform to both DIN and JIS standard. The instrument can measure illuminance, chromaticity, color temperature, color rendering index (CRI), dominant wavelength (DW), excitation purity (Pe), spectral irradiance, spectral power distribution and S/P ratio of Scotopic Illuminance and Photopic Illuminance can also be displayed.
The CL-500A comes standard with the CL-S10w Data management Software capable of downloading directly into Excel. The device features a display that shows data such as spectral irradiance values, chart color rendering indices, spectral waveform, and enabled LED Binning Function. 2 to 10 CL-500A can be daisy-chained for multi-point measurements.
APPLICATIONS
Light Emitting Diode (LED billboard | Organic LED (OLED) | Electroluminescence (EL) lighting | Building and interior lighting research | Projector light source research and color inspection | Color viewing cabinet maintenance | Evaluating illuminance distribution of lighting fixtures | Evaluating light distribution characteristics of LED illumination module
CL-500A Illuminance Spectrophotometer
- Ability to measure CRI! Also measures and displays spectral distribution graph and peak wavelength in addition to illuminance, chromaticity, and color temperature.
- First compact, lightweight spectral irradiance meter in the world to conform to precise DIN and JIS standards. The CL-500A conforms to both DIN 5032 Part 7 Class-B and JIS C 1609-1:2006 General Class AA standards which ensure high accuracy illuminance measurements.
- Portable & Lightweight – Weighs in at only 350g or about 12oz! A high-speed processor and integrated LCD screen provides the CL-500A the ability to function as a stand-alone instrument. The CL-500A also has an internal memory of 100 data points that may be downloaded and evaluated more thoroughly at a later time.
- Incudes Data Management Software CL-S10w – A convenient, easy to use Excel add-in software is included as a standard accessory for easy control of measurement procedures.
- High-speed measurement – Using the Software Development Kit (SDK) you can obtain measurements as fast as 5 times/sec. Instrument is suitable for production application.
