Whether in live event production, theater, or broadcast studios: Great collaboration between lighting designers, gaffers, and DITs relies on precise communication.

With complex LED setups, mixed light sources, and subtle color shifts, judging light by eye alone often leads to surprises on camera. What looks matching to the human eye can reveal unwanted color casts on digital camera sensors.

Quantifying light and color creates an objective, shared language:

• 🎯 Repeatability: Recreate complex lighting setups with absolute precision across different shoot days or tour locations.

• 🌈 Spectral Matching: Seamlessly blend fixtures from different manufacturers using objective metrics like TLCI, SSI, CRI, and TM-30-18.

• ⏱️ Efficiency: Eliminate guesswork at the console by making exact adjustments based on real-time spectral data.

With handheld spectrometers and light meters from Sekonic, you maintain complete control over both light quantity and light quality on set.
