Datacolor Datacolor LightColor Meter

Light and colour temperature for any light source

Press info

Marl, Germany, February 25, 2025 – Datacolor, a global leader in colour management solutions, today announced the release of its Datacolor LightColor Meter, a multi-functional device that measures both light and colour temperature for any light source, including changing outdoor light, tungsten, LED, HMI, fluorescent, strobe, and more. This innovative device is therefore more than a traditional light meter.

The measurement of colour temperature – the warmth or coolness of a light – provides users with essential information
to choose the most appropriate lighting and exposure for a specific application to ensure consistent colour appearance. Additionally, filter libraries from Profoto®, LEE® and Rosco® are included to help users select the right colour-correcting gels.

Used with the free Datacolor LightColor Meter app (iOS/Android), the Bluetooth-connected device continuously streams data to your phone for time-saving remote flexibility and pinpoint accuracy. Photographers, cinematographers, and hybrid photo/video shooters can easily fine-tune lighting and exposure without leaving the camera and can sync multiple LightColor Meters for simultaneous readings from several locations for enhanced workflow efficiencies and precise exposure – a feature that comes in handy when for example shooting at large events.

“The Datacolor LightColor Meter is like a portable on-set Personal Assistant that fits in your pocket. Its wireless feature eliminates the need to run to and from your camera to your metering location while receiving precise light and colour temperature data in real-time, even in shifting light conditions such as those outdoors,” said Heath Barber, Director of Product Management, Consumer at Datacolor. “The LightColor Meter takes the guesswork out of exposure settings for those new to using a light meter, and experienced users will appreciate the added advantage of being able to measure colour temperature and DUV, as well as light, with one powerful and convenient product.”
