Sekonic C-800-U Spectrometer:
The Super Tool for Color Correction

Name: Sekonic Spectrometer C-800-U
Brand: Sekonic
SKU: C-800-U
Price: 1899.00 USD
Availability: InStock

The C-800-U is a portable handheld spectrometer designed especially for the still and motion capture industry.

Additionally, it also addresses many industrial lighting applications that require its unique color interpretation and color correction modes. Utilizing Sekonic’s CMOS linear image sensor design and software, the C-800 can measure every light source (LED, HMI, Fluorescent, Flash, Natural Light spectrum) with accurate color control and expanded color interpretation.

Developed from the same platform as the Spectrometer C-7000, the C-800-U capture spikes in light source output, especially fluorescent and LED lighting, providing unmatched color measurement performance. In addition, it offers color correction in both CCi and LBi (Camera/Lighting) filters, as well as White Balance corrections and Multi-Light comparison, defining the C-800 as a color evaluation and color balancing spectrometer. With its expanded Color Rendering Properties, the C-800 addresses the evolutionary progress of emerging light sources. Software enhancements now include Spectral Similarity Index (SSI) Television Lighting Consistency Index (TLCI), Television Luminaire Matching Factor (TLMF) and Technical Memorandum (TM-30).
