Luminance meters

Konica Minolta LS-150 / LS-160

The Konica Minolta LS-150 and LS-160 are advanced, portable luminance meters designed for precise measurement of light sources and reflected light. These handheld devices offer improved functionality over their predecessors, featuring an expanded measurement range up to 999,900 cd/m² (LS-150) and 9,999,000 cd/m² (LS-160), with enhanced accuracy conforming to DIN 5032-7 Class B standards. Equipped with SLR optics and a pistol grip design, these meters ensure easy targeting and measurement of even small areas. The LS-150 provides a 1° measurement angle, while the LS-160 offers a more precise 1/3° angle. Both models feature a virtually flare-free optical system, reducing measurement errors from ambient light. With simultaneous display on an integrated LCD screen and viewfinder, these versatile instruments are ideal for a wide range of applications, from measuring display technologies to evaluating road and airport lighting. The included CS-S20 Data Management Software enhances data analysis capabilities, making these luminance meters essential tools for lighting professionals and researchers.
