Sekonic SPECTROMETER C-800 (401-800)
The Sekonic C-800-U Spectromaster is a full-spectrum color and illuminance meter designed for photographers, cinematographers, and lighting professionals. It delivers unmatched precision in measuring LED, HMI, fluorescent, and electronic flash lighting.
Featuring a high-resolution CMOS sensor, it captures spectral spikes for superior color accuracy. Unlike other meters, the C-800-U provides direct values for major light sources and lens filters, simplifying color correction and speeding up post-production workflows.
It’s the only meter with SSI (Spectral Similarity Index), developed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, allowing professionals to compare and score light sources based on spectral performance.
