CL-500A Spectrometer

Konica Minolta CL-500 A Illuminance Spectrophotometer

The Illuminance Spectrophotometer CL-500A is a handy instrument to measure illuminance (Lux), color temperature (Kelvin), dominant wavelength and much more. The built-in LCD display makes measurements easily possible without the computer. The spectrophotometer measures color rendering indices Ra and R1 through R15, illuminance, color gamut, and color temperature of virtually all light sources. The spectrophotometer is equipped with tripod threads on the front and back and can thus be quickly integrated into measurement setups. The software CL-s10w is included in delivery.
