Overview
The Sekonic SpectroMaster C-800 is the ultimate colour meter for filmmakers and photographers. It can accurately measure a wide range of light sources including LED, HMI, Fluorescent, Tungsten, Natural Light and Flash, from 380 to 780 nm. It also offers expanded colour rendering properties such as CRI, SSI, TLCI, TLMF, and TM-30-15, as well as extended colour control parameters including Hue/Saturation and CIE 1931 x, y chromaticity coordinate. The meter has a wide measurement range of Colour Temperature (1,600 to 40,000K) and illumination (1 to 200,000lx in ambient light, 20 to 20,500lx in flash light) and a user-friendly design with a 270 degrees swivel head, dark calibration without a cap, large 4.3” colour touch panel LCD, and Customise function. The C-800 also offers various displays such as Text, Spectrum Graph, Spectrum Comparison, CRI, CRI Comparison, SSI, TLCI/TLMF, TM-30-15, Lighting Filter for Rosco© and LEE©, Camera Filter for Kodak Wratten©, LEE© and Fuji©, Multiple Lights Comparison, and White Balance Correction. It can store up to 99 data measurements in its memory and can be easily analysed on a computer using the C-800 Series Utility.
The Sekonic SpectroMaster C-800 was developed with input from leading lighting manufacturers, filmmakers, photographers, and The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Science and Technology Council. It offers more colour rendering modes than any other meter in the industry, including CRI, TLCI, TLMF, TM-30-15, and SSI (Spectral Similarity Index). The C-800 is also the first and only meter to include SSI, which allows users to set any light as a standard or use predefined standards and then gives other lights an SSI score based on how well they will match. It also includes TLCI, TLMF, TM-30-15, and CRI, which can be measured singularly or in two light comparison mode. The C-800 now has more colour control parameters, such as CIE1931 (x, y) and Hue/Saturation, to help match lights to one another. With its high-resolution measuring system and direct display of values for major light source and lens filter brands, the C-800 simplifies correcting and modifying light colour for cleaner recording and faster post-processing. Overall, the Sekonic SpectroMaster C-800 is a powerful tool that empowers filmmakers and photographers to achieve true-to-life skin tones and realistic colours in their work.

About the Sekonic C-800 SpectroMaster
The ultimate colour meter. Ultra-precise colour measuring. Designed to be used on set:
Developed with the input from leading lighting manufacturers, filmmakers, photographers, and The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Science and Technology Council, the C-800 solves the problems image makers have when understanding colour properties of light, and how lights will reproduce colours on camera.
More colour rendering modes than any other meter in the industry. CRI | TLCI | TLMF | TM-30-15 | (NEW) SSI:
It is the first and only meter to include SSI (Spectral Similarity Index) developed by the Sci-Tech Council of the Academy. SSI gives the user the ability to set any light as a standard, or use predefined standards (such as CIE D55), and then gives other lights an SSI score based upon how well they will match. The C-800 also includes TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index), TLMF (Television Lighting Matching Factor), TM-30-15 (Technical Memorandum) in addition to CRI (Colour Rendering Index), which can be measured singularly or in two light comparison mode.
Matching light sources just got easier. Now measure x,y and hue saturation:
The C-800 now has more colour control parameters specifically designed to help match lights to one another. CIE1931 (x, y) has been added, giving users the ability to measure and dial-in specific chromaticity coordinates into lights of some major brands. Hue and Saturation units of measure have also been added to better match RGB LEDs to any light source. In addition, new display screens provide easy interpretation and understanding of the new data fields, making this the best meter for all applications.
The Sekonic SpectroMaster C-800 is a full-spectrum colour meter that can precisely measure every kind of light including LED HMI Fluorescent and electronic flash. Its high-resolution measuring system featuring CMOS sensor enables capturing spikes in light source output to provide unsurpassed colour measurement accuracy. Different than any spectrometer today the C-800’s direct display of values for major light source and lens filter brands simplifies correcting and modifying light colour for cleaner recording and faster post process.
The New C800 has CRI, TLCI, TLMF, TM-30-15, and CRI. Currently, the only meter to have SSI (Spectral Similarity Index) developed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science and Technology Council. Now you can compare and score lights based upon their spectral similarity.
With the C-800 matching the new generation of RGB, RGBW and RGBAW LED’s has never been easier. The meter will give you any lights (x, y) values to measure precise chromaticity coordinates, and you can measure Hue and Saturation to get the best match from any RGB LEDs. Now matching your LEDs to any available light source, gelled or not, can now be done in seconds.
The enhancements to the new C-800 show the commitment and importance of end-user input and compatibility with new and growing trends in the colour control industry. The new Spectromaster C-800 will give filmmakers and photographers increased confidence with lights to render true to life skin tones and realistic colour, as well as match lights better than any other meter on the market. The C-800 will empower you to light better.
