Its top of the line when it comes to color metering. I was gladly surprised to also have the ability to have fc/lux also included. There's a ton of tools included, and its very lightweight. The screen isn't as sensitive as something like a smartphone, but that adds some protection from accidental touches. Great product.

It looks like this meter is going to give us all the missing info we needed to get control of our studio lights, and factory production area lighting. Not sure what more it could do. Great display and comparisons in several modes of measurement.

It also guides you in selecting filters like Rosco, Lee, Kodak Wratten, or Fuji to achieve your targeted color temperature. The Multi Light Screen allows you to compare multiple light sources' color temperatures and offers recommendations.
The C-800 series aids in matching lights with specific parameters like CIE1931 (x, y), Hue, and Saturation, ensuring perfect synchronization of RGB LEDs with other lights. With the ability to measure color temperature from 1600 to 40,000K and illumination ranging from 1 to 200,000 lux, the user-friendly design features a 270-degree swivel head, touch panel LCD display, and extensive memory for up to 99 data measurements.
