Features
Main features of CL-70F
- Spectral sensor
- Measure CRI
- Compact, easy to carry and battery operated
- Color touch screen
The portable CL-70F body is designed for a variety of common lighting tasks including lighting design and ongoing maintainance. Providing spectral information and CRI measurement the CL-70F provides entry level access to cutting edge light measurement features. Combining the instrument with a flash sync cable enables spectral measurements of flash light making the CL-70F a powerful tool for professional imaging and entertainment markets.
CRI measurement
The CL-70F provides easy access to CRI measurement data. The display shows the Ra value including all individual indices (R1 to R15) in a simple bar graph. For further information on Colour Rendering please see our light measurement resource : The Language of Light.
Easy measurement of correlated color temperature (Tcp)
The CL-70F can measure correlated color temperature and the difference from the blackbody locus Δuv, values which are often used to describe the color of light sources. The colour temperature of light is defined as the absolute temperature (in Kelvin) at which a blackbody would emit that particular color of light. The colours of light emitted by a blackbody at various temperatures can be plotted on a curve which is called the "blackbody locus". Since the output of many light sources do not lie directly on the blackbody locus, "correlated colour temperature" is used to describe their colours.
When describing a colour using correlated colour temperature, normally the difference from the blackbody locus ∆uv is stated in addition to the correlated colour temperature. To learn more about colour temperatue please read our light measurement resource : The Language of Light.
