Sekonic C-800 Light Meter

Professional cinematographers, commercial photographers, gaffers, colorists, and video production teams benefit most from owning the Sekonic C-800. It excels in environments with challenging mixed or modern LED lighting, where exact spectral matching, high CRI/TLCI evaluation, and reliable color correction are essential for consistent skin tones, product accuracy, and post-production efficiency—delivering results that standard meters simply can't match.

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 (Color Rendering Index), which can be measured singularly or in two light comparison mode.

The C-800 now has more color 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.
