Color temperature measurement
Color temperature (CCT) measurement is a key aspect of lighting, measured in Kelvin (K) . It describes the color characteristics of a light source based on blackbody radiation theory. The sensor converts ambient light into standard physical values, accurately reflecting color temperature under various conditions.
Light intensity measurement
Light intensity, measured in lux , reflects the light flow over a single surface area. This is essential for achieving the right level of brightness in photography and video. The sensor provides precise readings of light intensity, enabling ideal lighting settings in a variety of environments.
