In today's market, many products attempt to attract buyers with countless features and unusual forms. Lumu Power has everything it needs and nothing more. Thanks to its Stainless Steel unibody it will last for many years. Each device is assembled and tested by hand. Only well-executed objects can be really valuable.Build QualityMade of durable stainless steel housing and polycarbonate lexan diffusers, Lumu Light meter can withstand the most demanding use.Insanely Accurate, ForeverLumu Power incorporate two state of the art sensors. True color sensor, based on the color standard CIE 1931/DIN 5033, and fast silicon photodiode capturing light at astonishing 750 000 measurements/second. Each Lumu is calibrated before leaving the manufacturing line and comes with calibration certificate.

This was an interesting idea, but it turned out to be a costly experiment for me. From the minute I got it, things didn't quite match up. The app interface took a little getting use to because of the way you choose which variable is measured. After a couple days, I got use to how to compensate for what seemed natural.

The next thing I encountered was actually quite odd. Lumu can't measure a speedlight (at least my Godox TT600) when it's in slave mode. I discovered that limitation by accident after trying to figure out why the Lumu died on a photoshoot. The batteries died on the speedlight I was using, which is when I switched to another speedlight that happened to be in slave mode. When I got home, I discovered the limitation.

I also experienced some usability frustration with my light meter and my flash trigger both being apps on my phone. So, I had to repeatedly remove my flash trigger from my camera, which messed up my composition. It was an annoying aspect of my workflow.
