CL-500A

Product catalog summary
Overview: The CL-500A is a handheld illuminance spectrophotometer designed for evaluating next-generation lamps such as LEDs and EL illumination. It is the first of its kind to conform to both DIN 5032 Part 7 Class B and JIS C 1609-1:2006 General Class AA standards.
Key Features:
  • Measures both photopic and scotopic illuminance, allowing for comprehensive light evaluation.
  • Compact and lightweight design (350g), making it portable and easy to use.
  • Operates independently without the need for a PC, though it includes software for enhanced functionality.
  • Measures spectral irradiance from 360 to 780 nm at 1-nm pitch, suitable for color and photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) measurements.
  • Displays general color-rendering index (Ra) and special indexes (R1 to R15), useful for specific color evaluations.
  • High-speed measurement capability at 5 times per second using the Software Development Kit (SDK).
Software and Data Management:
  • Includes CL-S10w software for data management, capable of controlling up to 10 units for multi-point measurements.
  • Excel® add-in software for direct data import and processing.
  • Features LED binning function to address color variations in the LED industry.
Applications:
  • Evaluation of indoor and special illumination sources, including LEDs, organic EL, and fluorescent lamps.
  • Measurement of ambient lighting and projector illumination.
  • Assessment of agricultural light sources for PPFD.
Technical Specifications:
  • Wavelength range: 360 to 780 nm with 1 nm output pitch.
  • Accuracy: ±2%±1 digit for illuminance, ±0.0015 for chromaticity (10 to 100,000 lx).
  • Measurement range: 0.1 to 100,000 lx.
  • Interface: USB 2.0, with rechargeable lithium-ion battery providing approximately 6 hours of operation.
  • Operating conditions: -10 to 40°C, relative humidity up to 85%.
Conclusion: The CL-500A is a versatile and advanced tool for precise light measurement, suitable for a wide range of applications in lighting technology, offering both standalone and software-enhanced functionalities.
